Same here, I got my license in Italy in 2003 and they do not have the test record/copy anymore or able to reproduced it.Oak wrote: ↑Mon, 01 Jul 2019 1:08 pm
To get the UK motorcycle licence you have have to train and take a test on a motorcycle over 595 cc (and 50hp) so the fact is I have taken this test and got the licence is clear evidence that the test was taken on a bike which should qualify for an unrestricted licence here in Singapore - but still no..
I spoke to the original test centre and the DVLA to ask if they can reissue the original pass certificate but as this was over 10 years ago (I passed the Direct Access motorcycle test and training in 2001) they do not have a copy of this and are not (by law) required to reissue given how long ago it was...

I have received the documentary proof of the type of bike (cc, model, manufacturer and number plate) I was tested on for my European Class A exam 16 years ago. I managed also to get from my insurance the claim incident history related to my ex-bike indicating 3 consecutive years with no claim. Ownership certificate for the same bike already on my hand.
I am planning to go to TP this coming Wednesday with all the documents required for the class 2 conversion. Having already the 2B issued, and still waiting for the card as not received yet, lets see how it goes... worst case you will read about an Italian causing mayhem at TP on Thursday's news paper:) I will keep you posted.
That was a great story until the very last sentence. I was expecting a Motoguzzi at worse and maybe a MV Augusta at best but not a H-D!. Ride safe!Amerigo wrote: ↑Wed, 04 Sep 2019 8:12 pmUpdate no.2
License converted and finally got the class 2!!!!!
sharing my experience, there is no problem in upgrading the class 2B into the class 2. The officer checked my supporting document paying attention mainly on the one stating the bike engine capacity I have been tested on when I got my license in Italy. Then she asked for the ownership proof of my ex-bike and lastly just had a look at the insurance paper. She printed the sticker with the upgraded class and applied it on my Singapore driving license.
I concluded the day going to the Harley dealership and ordered the bike:)
I've been in Singapore for six years and am also thinking of converting my foreign "big bike" license to a Singapore Class 2, if possible. I'm in the same situation as a few people here -- I passed about 20 years ago in the UK and subsequently converted that to continue riding for a number of years in New Zealand.Oak wrote: ↑Mon, 01 Jul 2019 1:08 pmTo get the UK motorcycle licence you have have to train and take a test on a motorcycle over 595 cc (and 50hp) so the fact is I have taken this test and got the licence is clear evidence that the test was taken on a bike which should qualify for an unrestricted licence here in Singapore - but still no..
