Tatapets is a friendly, independent guide that makes exchanging a foreign driving licence in Latvia feel easy. Making it feel that simple is exactly what Tatapets is for. We walk you through every stage in plain, cheerful language so nothing catches you off guard.
Anything you can do online, we'll happily point out. Loads of it runs through the state e-services, and when a form needs signing you can pop your signature on with eParaksts straight from your phone.
Find out whether your licence exchanges directly or needs a couple of extra steps, based on where it's from.
Grab your licence and ID, book the medical check, and sort translations if you need them.
Confirm who you are and sign the application online — fully legit, and done from the sofa.
Book a slot on the CSDD portal and only show up in person for what really needs it.
Confirm, sign and send — from home.
eParaksts is Latvia's national e-signature and eID. Once you've got it, you can log in to the state e-services, prove it's really you, and sign official forms without queueing anywhere.
That's the magic bit: submit and sign from home, and a document signed with eParaksts is every bit as legal as one signed by hand — so you make fewer trips and finish faster.
