In 2015, a student completed training at a driving school for categories B and C but ultimately passed only the B category exam before entering military service. The question arises whether it is possible to obtain the C category license now and whether the previous theory results can be credited, or whether a fresh theory test is required along with practical driving examinations.
There was a formal discussion on this topic led by a senior official who heads the Road Safety Directorate. Readers can seek clarification directly from the examining authorities responsible for traffic safety questions.
There is no legal provision to credit the results of the 2015 theory test. In practice, the applicant must complete both theory and practical examinations anew. To proceed, the person should contact an examination unit of the traffic safety authority, regardless of their place of registration or residence within the country. This ensures they receive accurate, location-appropriate guidance and scheduling for the licensing process.
It should be noted that the certificate issued upon completion of the driving course, which confirms the completion of the applicable training, does not expire. This document can be used as part of the admissions process for the C category examination. In addition, the applicant must present a medical certificate confirming the absence or presence of any medical conditions that could affect safe driving, issued after an assessment by the driver medical board. This medical evaluation is a standard requirement for all drivers seeking to obtain or upgrade a license.
The described requirements are grounded in the provisions of the federal road safety law and the rules governing examinations for the right to drive and the issuance of driving licenses, as established by government decree and related regulatory acts.
