Response from the competent authority: Reply from the Ministry of Infrastructure:Article
  59(2) of the Drivers Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia No 85/16
  and 67/17) provides that a driving licence shall be issued or its validity extended
  to a person who has his/her habitual residence in the Republic of Slovenia or who
  provides evidence that he/she has been studying in the Republic of Slovenia for
  at least 6 months.The concept of habitual residence transposes the provision of
  Article 12 of Directive 2006/126/EC, which is distinct from the concept of permanent
  or temporary residence.Article 59(2) of the Drivers Act provides that a driving
  licence shall be issued to a person who has his/her habitual residence in the Republic
  of Slovenia or who provides evidence that he/she has been studying in the Republic
  of Slovenia for at least 6 months. According to the provisions of the Directive,
  habitual residence is the place where a person habitually resides, i.e. for at least
  6 months, because of personal and professional ties or, in the case of a person
  with no professional ties, because of personal ties which show a close link between
  that person and the place where he or she lives. The habitual residence of a person
  whose professional ties are in a different place from his personal ties and who,
  as a result, lives in different places in two or more countries shall be deemed
  to be the place of his personal ties if he returns regularly to that place. Where
  a person lives in a country in order to fulfil a task of a fixed duration, this
  last condition need not be fulfilled. Attending a university or school in another
  country does not constitute a transfer of habitual residence.The term habitual residence
  is used only for the purposes set out in the Drivers Act. A registered permanent
  or temporary residence in the Republic of Slovenia does not mean that a person fulfils
  the condition for administrative matters in the field of driving licences. In practice,
  there are more and more cases where persons have a registered permanent or temporary
  residence in the Republic of Slovenia, but have usually been residing in another
  country for more than six months. Under the provisions of the Directive, in such
  cases, it is the Member State other than the Republic of Slovenia that is competent
  to issue the driving licence.In the present case, the client will be able to renew
  his driving licence in the Republic of Slovenia once he has fulfilled the condition
  of habitual residence in the Republic of Slovenia, i.e. having actually resided
  in the Republic of Slovenia for at least 6 months, counted from the date of his
  return to the Republic of Slovenia from abroad.
