Sources: 12. Developments: 2. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, administrative issues regarding driver licenses have emerged in two distinct contexts. Initially, data from the Agency for Identification Documents, Records and Data Exchange (IDDEEA BiH) indicated that 5,375 driver's licenses were revoked due to the accumulation of four penalty points, with men accounting for approximately 89 percent of these cases. Subsequently, a dispute arose concerning the validity of professional driver licenses, specifically affecting drivers from Republika Srpska at state border crossings. The conflict involves licenses issued by the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Republika Srpska versus those issued by the state-level Ministry of Transport and Communications of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Logistics Consortium of BiH reported that this lack of recognition has forced transporters to face doubled costs to obtain state-level documentation. Minister of Communications and Transport Edin Forto characterized the situation as an “administrative misunderstanding” between the Border Police and ministry departments, stating that officials are working toward a resolution. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-26: Bosnia and Herzegovina driver license dispute affects border crossings Professional drivers from Republika Srpska have faced being turned back at borders due to a dispute over whether entity-issued or state-issued licenses are valid for crossing. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bosnia-and-herzegovina-driver-license-dispute-affects-border-crossings ### 2026-08-31: Bosnia and Herzegovina driver's licenses revoked over penalty points Over 5,300 driver's licenses have been revoked in Bosnia and Herzegovina due to penalty points, with Banja Luka seeing the highest number of revocations. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bosnia-and-herzegovina-drivers-licenses-revoked-over-penalty-points --- Cite as: Bosnia and Herzegovina driver license administrative issues.
