Initial driving licence for a vehicle

You can start the process to obtain a first-time car driving licence or a motorcycle/moped licence only or both.

Alternatively, your application can be submitted by a person in charge of the driving school you wish to attend. For this purpose, you can, via the application, authorise your school. 

You will need:

  • fill in your personal Taxisnet credentials
  • select the categories of driving licences you wish to obtain
  • fill in any information that may place you in a special category of examinees and attach the relevant evidence (e.g. test with hearing aids)
  • have your photo and signature managed in the myphoto application so that they can be obtained when you apply
  • issue and pay the appropriate fee (the application will guide you to issue and pay it)
  • attach any necessary supporting documents 

The process is completed in steps:

  1. The process requires you to be trained by a Driving School and includes your theoretical and practical examinations. In all steps, the application informs you by email and text message (sms).
  • Procedure for issuing a driver training card to a candidate driver
  • select the category(ies) of driving licence(s) you wish to obtain 
  • the application assigns you a four-digit number (PIN) and informs you of the medical specialities from which you need to be examined
  • you visit the doctors and, on completion of the medical examination, the application is automatically updated. If you are deemed qualified by all the doctors, you can continue with your application 
  • you will need to issue and pay the required electronic fee 

The candidate driver training card is not issued immediately but after verification.

  1. Selection of a driving school and attendance of theoretical and practical courses

Once the driver training card has been issued, you can start attending the theoretical and practical courses. At this point you will be required to choose a driving school if you have not already done so.

  1. Scheduling of theoretical examinations

Once the theory training is completed, your authorized driving school will take care of sending your request for scheduling your theory test.

  1. Scheduling a practical test

Once you have successfully completed the theoretical test and once the practical training has been completed, your authorised driving school will be responsible for sending you a request to schedule your practical test.

  1. Printing and receipt of the driving licence

Once you have successfully completed the theory and practical tests, your licence will be printed without any further action being required from you if you have selected only one category of driving licence or have passed all the categories you have entered. 

The service is provided on a trial basis for the Region of Crete only. The other regions will be added soon.
