"【Foreign License Switch】I tried to convert my Malaysian license to a Japanese license."

Hello, I’m Soumame, 18 years old. I lived in Malaysia for about five years, but I returned to Japan at the end of January. I was able to convert my foreign driver's license to a Japanese license, allowing me to drive in Japan, so I wanted to document this here. As of March 2025, the number of applications for foreign license conversions has increased, and the rules for converting foreign licenses have changed, so please check the latest information on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police and the websites of the police in each prefecture. The information on this page is based solely on my personal perspective. If you think anything is incorrect, I would appreciate it if you could contact me. Read more.
