Required Documents

The official page does not list specific documents. Typically, you may need:

  • Your valid foreign driver's licence
  • Proof of identity (e.g., passport)
  • Proof of residency in the NWT
  • A translation if your licence is not in English or French

Contact the local licensing office for a complete list.

  1. Visit a licensing office in the NWT (e.g., motor vehicle office or ECE service centre)
  2. Submit your application and show required documents
  3. Pay any applicable fees
  4. Pass a vision or knowledge test if required

The official page does not state whether a retest is needed. Contact the local office to confirm.

Where to Apply

Driver's licence services are provided through ECE service centres. For specific locations and contact details, check the official website or contact the territorial government.
