Limited rights driving licence for driving a B-category motor vehicle is issued until the driving licence holder turns 18. A temporary driving licence is issued with a validity of up to two months.

** The driver of a motor vehicle is typically obligated to pass a health test every 10 years.

** From April 1st, 2015 the organisations that perform health checks issue health certificates for drivers in electronic form only. In order to obtain an electronic health certificate, one must first fill in health declaration at the Digilugu.ee portal and then contact the organisation that would perfom the health check.

When an electronic health certificate is issued, it is automatically transferred into the traffic register so there would be no need to visit a service bureau in person to submit a health certificate. You can check the validity of your health certificate at Digilugu.ee.

It is possible to apply for a driving licence on rush order in a service office of the Traffic Registry. The state fee for a driving licence issued on rush order is 53 euros.
