I was wondering if you could help me. I do not understand the following sentence:
If you are resident in Britain and have an EC licence, your licence can be endorsed by the courts and a counterpart will be issued.
What does the word endorse mean in thsi context?
1000 Thanks

It is an odd statement !
An endorsement on a driving licence usually means that penalty points incurred by the driver for a driving offence are recorded on that licence.
However, if you have no penalty points on your licence, I would assume that *endorse* in this instance means a confirmation that your EC licence is valid in the UK.
I always understood "endorsement" to mean "approval of" or was some way of adding comments.
You've got me scratching my head now too - no wonder you are baffled !

An endorsement is an attachment to a document that amends or adds to it.
In the case of a driving licence this is to add information such as penalty points in relation to traffic offences. Since EC licences are not able to have this information printed upon them directly a paper counterpart is issued.
