Arriving in Switzerland with a foreign licence? You have 12 months to exchange it for a Swiss licence. As licence exchange specialists in Geneva, we handle everything: case analysis, complete OCV file, and if your country requires it, practical exam preparation.
Two possible situations depending on your country of origin. Either way, you're not alone: we handle the paperwork and tell you exactly what to do, step by step.
Does your country have an agreement with Switzerland? The process is purely administrative, and we take care of it:
Your country isn't recognized? The Swiss practical exam is mandatory, and we'll prepare you for it:
From your first message to receiving your Swiss licence, we handle everything. Here's the process, with no surprises.
Send us a photo of your current licence on WhatsApp and describe your situation: we'll respond within 24 hours.
We determine whether your country entitles you to a direct exchange, or if a practical exam is required.
Forms, translations, certificates: we gather all the documents for a complete OCV file with you.
Targeted lessons on Swiss rules and Geneva driving, with a mock exam to assess your readiness.
Your application goes to the cantonal vehicle office with a clean file: no unnecessary back-and-forth.
You receive your Swiss driving licence. Welcome to Geneva's roads!
Your foreign licence remains valid during your first 12 months in Switzerland. The sooner you start the process, the simpler it is: don't miss the window. Warning: if your country requires a practical exam, you only get one attempt: if you fail, you have to start the entire training process from scratch. Prepare seriously before you take it.
OCV fees are added depending on your situation. Contact us first: we'll confirm what you actually need before you pay anything.
Your preparation lesson starts wherever suits you: at our Cornavin and Eaux-Vives agencies, in Plainpalais, in Florissant or directly at the OCV, where the practical exam takes place.

I enjoyed the Slim instructor's classes; his explanations are excellent, and the sessions are very engaging. Additionally, they generously provided aperitifs during breaks, showing great kindness. I highly recommend them.
I did well in my driver's license conversion test thanks to the very thorough and clearly explained driving lessons by Mr. Slim Kassous. I took 4 lessons and learned a great deal. Highly recommended—the driving school truly lives up to its name: success indeed!
One of the best in Geneva to get your first aid, theorie, sensibilisation and so on. I did my first aid on another school (wasn't happy/unsatisfied) but I did my theorie and sensi here, and it is way way better. I wanted the course in english because I am not confident in my french and what's the point of studying if you won't understand anything. And here it's just perfect! With Slim (Slim Shady) all is explained well, informations were clear (especially in my theorie it helps a lot). Will point out from the smallest point to the obvious ones. It's very recommendable and if you're not confident on your french and you want it in english. Do it here! And even if you're finished with the course they are still open for questions regarding driving/rules or to help you out etc. 🙌👌🤝📌
I had a sensabilisation course at Success driving school. Everything was explained very clearly and structured. The instructor (Slim) was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Very informative, useful and engaging. It prepares the person for the practical test. Slim is great instructor where the information is flowing smoothly and in an engaging manner . Thanks so much
