Destination-level research notes for reviewer: When a person moves to Yukon, they must transfer their current driver's licence to a Yukon driver's licence. The transfer deadline is 120 days after moving to Yukon, or 30 days if the licence has an air-brake endorsement. Yukon recognizes valid driver's licences from Canada, the United States, Taiwan, Germany, and the Isle of Man for Yukon licence application. Germany requires a sign test. If the licence has been held for less than two years in a jurisdiction outside Canada, the applicant must enrol in the Graduated Driver's Licensing program. Transfer requirements include surrendering the out-of-territory driver's licence, paying the applicable fee, providing one acceptable proof of identity document, providing two acceptable proof of residency documents, and providing a current driver's medical for commercial drivers or drivers 70 and older. Yukon identity documentation must confirm full legal name, date of birth, legal presence in Canada, photo, and signature. A valid foreign passport with appropriate immigration documents can be used in combination to meet identity/legal-presence/photo/signature requirements.
