Frequently asked questions

Does my driving experience count?

Yes. You usually need far fewer lessons than a beginner. A first lesson shows exactly how many.

In which language is the theory exam?

The theory exam can be taken in several languages, including English, Turkish and Arabic.

What about the probation period?

If your license is less than two years old, the probation period applies for the remaining time.
