| Renewing a Portuguese licence — follows your country of residence | Renewal (revalidação) of a Portuguese driving licence follows the holder’s country of normal residence, not their nationality. A Portuguese citizen who has moved their normal residence abroad generally cannot renew or make changes to the Portuguese licence with the IMT: while resident in another EU/EEA country the licence is managed there, and the holder exchanges the Portuguese licence for that country’s licence and renews it locally. Renewal with the IMT (medical certificate via the "A Minha Carta de Condução" / gov.pt portal, plus a psychological assessment for higher categories or older drivers) is the route when the holder has, or re-establishes, normal residence in Portugal. |
