| So no probational thing because my license is less than 3 years old?
I see a mark at the back of my current driver's license indicating it was just exchanged. It shows a 'PHL' (means Philippines). I hope that helps in removing the notion that I am a new driver. | |

But if it also reveals that you first received your drivers licence in the Philippines, then that could open a whole new can of worms.
I haven't heard of the 'new driver' thing before. If you are talking about changing the equivalent of a 'provisional' Finnish licence to a Swiss licence, from a Philipines licence, then I guess you're in trouble.
In my case, I renewed an Australian licence while I was here before I converted to a Swiss licence. The strassenverkersammt people only told me to produce my expired licence to show that I held a licence prior to moving here....... they didn't say anything about a "probation" period at the time.
