Driving License Permit and Vehicles License

Before a driving license can be obtained, it is necessary to apply for a driving license permit from the police. Driving license permit applications are submitted in writing to the police department for the applicant's place of residence. The permit must be paid for when submitting the application. (If you attend a driving school, the school will usually handle most of the paperwork for a driving license. Any further applications must be made in person at a police department.)

When applying for a driving license permit, the following must be submitted:

• Two photographs (required if the previous photographs were submitted more than 3 years earlier or the applicant's name has changed)
• Young person's health certificate (obtained no more than five years earlier) or a driving license medical certificate (obtained no more than six months earlier)
• Written consent of parents/guardians when applying for a moped, motorcycle or tractor license if the applicant is under 18 years of age.
