I can’t remeber where I read it, but a EU DCPC is acceptable in the UK, but, you must do a 7 hour top up.
I will try to track down where I read it, it was on an official UK.gov site. Licence is no problem, not sure abt tacho card though

Edit

Ah here it is, it states, at least 7 hours of your dcpc must have taken place in the uk

Helps if I put the link in :blush: :blush: :slight_smile:

Tim, that only applies if you don’t have a card and are applying for a card in the UK. A holder with a valid EU issued card can work in any EU country. Carry on reading to the bottom of the link you posted.
