Exchanging Driver's licenses in Taiwan

[akvong]

Does anyone have recent experience “exchanging” a foreign license for a Taiwan license?

Questions:

1. To confirm, the Taiwan DMV does not attempt to retain or destroy the foreign license ? That is, they only look at it to confirm it is valid and I would be free to go back to the foreign country and continue using it?
2. To authenticate a US drivers license, does AIT have a form affidavit or do I need to bring one to the appointment?

1. I was able to exchange my Texas DL last month and I retained my TX license as well.

2. Make an appointment with AIT online and make sure to bring your drivers license with a copy of the front and back. They will give you a form at the counter. It’ll cost USD$50 for the notary and they also accept TWD.
