[1] Yes, that's pretty reasonable requirement, nothing special. If I remember correctly there is a question in the form what asks for date of arrival.

[2] You can ask your embassy to confirm that paper you provide is a valid driving license. It should contain your name, passport number, driving license number and  class(es) of vehicle(s) you're allowed to drive including their verbal description, e.g. "Class B (Motor cars)".

My papers were approved two weeks ago and I'm only waiting for the license to be printed.

What is the 'green paper' that is requested?

I assume this is the paper counterpart to the UK driving licence card, but the former was abolished on 8 June 2015:

Very confusing!

I exchanged my UK license earlier in the year.

Apart from the usual things I needed:

(a) A statement from the DVLA confirming my license. I just phoned them up and they emailed me a pdf which was accepted.

(b)  The 'green papers' is that when I exchanged by old UK paper driving license for my new UK photo license DVLA issued me with the photo license together with the 'green paper license' which fortunately I kept. This was titled 'Counterpart Driving License'. This was inspected and returned.

I know it’s a stupid question, but when you ‘convert’ your uk driving license to a Mauritian one, does this mean you can no longer use your uk license?

@nav56

I have often wondered about this. Why give up your UK licence? I might as well do the test and get a Mauritian licence in addition.

@Tookays

If that is really the case (I don’t think it is) it would be best to take the test there..

@mike102

Yes, the DVLA says that this document has no legal status since 2015 and if you have one if should be destroyed. I can't understand how Mauritian authorities are asking for it as most people don't have it and can't even get it. I wonder will they accept a print of the 'licence summary' that you can get when you wish to share your licence details from the DVLA website. I did get the DVLA to send me a 'licence confirmation' document before I left the UK, but I haven't used it here yet and am still driving on a combination of my UK licence and an IDP.

Thks for this.

How do you get the dvla to send you a ´license confirmation ´ document pls.

@nav56

I think you can request it on their website or ask by email. I did one of these, but can't remember which, I didn't phone them for sure. Anyway, it's a pretty standard request and they'll send it out after you request it.

Thank you so much KC

Will do so before I travel back to Mauritius

I applied it took a month. Then I got a phone call had to pay and supply 2 photos and fill in 2 forms and now waiting to get printed card after 2 weeks
