Morocco, Italy mutually recognize driving licenses

Morocco and Italy signed an agreement to mutually recognize the driving licenses delivered by their respective authorities.

The agreement would spare holders of Moroccan driving licenses administrative hurdles, notably in view of the large Moroccan diaspora in Italy.

Spain was the latest EU country with whom Morocco had signed a driving license mutual recognition agreement.

The Moroccan transport ministry had signed similar agreements with near 20 countries in Africa and the Arab region.

The agreement would also make it easier for Moroccan drivers to access the EU market which is under a shortage of truck and heavy weight drivers.
