Yes, EU driving licenses are valid in Iceland. Licenses from the US, UK, and other EEA countries are also accepted, provided they have been held for at least one year and are in Latin characters. Temporary or provisional licenses (often issued during the initial licensing period) are not recognized. For non-EEA licenses, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended to ensure compliance with local regulations. Always carry your original license and passport when driving.

To obtain an Icelandic driver's license: - Pass the theory test (available up to 2 months before your 17th birthday). - Complete mandatory practical driving lessons (lessons 13+ focus on final test preparation). - Pass the practical driving test (eligible up to 2 weeks before your 17th birthday). - Receive your license upon passing both exams.
