• Take your Estonian identity document with you every time you visit the bureau (for application, exams, receiving an Estonian driving licence).
• Take your foreign driving licence with you. This is checked when the application is started. When receiving an Estonian driving licence, the foreign driving licence must be surrendered, and this driving licence cannot be returned. The Estonian driving licence is also valid in your country of origin.
• Make sure you have sufficient funds to pay the state fee (driving licence, theory test, practical test). The state fee can be paid by card or bank transfer (not cash).

Theory test - the driving test starts with taking a theory test. The theory test is not part of the study process. It is, first and foremost, a test of knowledge. Theory tests can be taken in Estonian, Russian and English. You can learn more from the website of the Transport Administration.

Practical driving test - to obtain a driving licence and the right to drive a power-driven vehicle of the relevant category, a practical driving test must be taken.

The theory test can be taken in Estonian, Russian and English. For other languages, you must bring an interpreter with you.

The practical driving test can be taken in Estonian. If you want to communicate with the examiner in another language when taking the test, you must bring a translator with you. Languages other than Estonian and Estonian Sign Language are counted as foreign languages. An interpreter is needed for Sign Language.
