Drivers in Kyrgyzstan who hold indefinite licenses can continue to use them without any restrictions. As noted by Boobek Salimzhanov, the First Deputy Head of the President's Office, the need to replace licenses arises only in the case of planned trips abroad.

This clarification was a response to citizens' concerns about the necessity of promptly replacing documents. Relevant authorities emphasized that updating old-style licenses is a voluntary process.

New driver's licenses with a specified validity period are required solely for international travel, as dictated by international standards. For movement within the territory of Kyrgyzstan, old licenses remain fully valid.

Thus, citizens who do not plan to travel outside the country need not worry about replacing their driver's licenses. At the same time, if desired, drivers can independently apply for new licenses.
