Eligibility and documents
- Bring a valid identity document. Your booking details must match the document you present at the exam.
- Obtain a medical certificate, form IV-100/a, confirming fitness to drive a category B vehicle.
- Have your actual residential address in Georgia ready and keep proof of exam payment.
- Ask the Agency in advance whether foreign-language documents need a certified Georgian translation; exemptions exist. Do not rely on getting a translation at the exam centre on the day.
Booking an exam
Use the Service Agency’s official booking service. Book theory first; the road test is a separate booking after you pass the driving area.
- Open the theory booking form. Read the rules and consent notices shown by the government service.
- Enter your personal number. If you have no Georgian identity document, the booking rules allow your identity document number. Provide a working mobile number.
- Choose category B, an Agency branch and an available date and time offered by the system. Check all details before payment.
- Pay within the time allowed by the service. Save your booking and payment confirmation, including any SMS you receive.
- Bring original documents. Arrive at least 10 minutes before theory starts and allow extra time for document checks.
The standard driving-area attempt does not need a separate online booking: ask the exam centre staff after passing theory. For the road test, select practical examination stage two and check the transmission and location.
If no suitable slot is available, check other dates and branches in the official calendar. A booking does not guarantee admission: the Agency checks your documents and eligibility.
Theory
Category B theory has 30 questions and a 30-minute time limit. You need at least 25 correct answers, allowing up to 5 errors. This threshold has applied since 21 May 2026.
You can take theory in Georgian, English or Russian, with other languages also available. Confirm your chosen language during registration. Phones and study aids are prohibited in the exam room.
Start with signs, priority and junctions, then work through the questions by topic, review your mistakes and take timed mock exams.
Theory questions by topic
921 B and B1 questions in 32 topics, mistake review and a mock exam: 30 questions in 30 minutes.
Driving area
The closed driving area tests accurate manoeuvres and control of the car. Prepare for all six exercises; their order depends on the site.
- Parallel parking
- Zigzag
- Turning in a confined space
- Reverse parking
- Figure of eight
- Hill start
Before moving, adjust the seat and mirrors, fasten your seat belt and familiarise yourself with the controls. Practise each manoeuvre from start to finish, including stopping and completing the exercise.
You begin with 100 points. To pass, complete all required exercises with no more than 39 penalty points. Some violations end the exam immediately, so having points left does not replace meeting the requirements.
Standard driving-area attempts are free. Free retakes are available at 7-day intervals within the deadline after theory. Faster attempts are charged separately; ask the Agency about the current terms.

Road test
The second practical stage takes place on public roads. Pass it within 365 calendar days of completing the driving area.
The first standard attempt is available no earlier than 15 calendar days after the driving area; subsequent standard attempts are at 30-day intervals. The actual date depends on available slots. Each attempt needs its own booking.
Before driving, you will answer questions about the car’s roadworthiness. Prepare to explain and demonstrate checks involving tyres, brakes, lights and fluids. The official list is linked from the practical exam page.
The examiner assesses observation, priority, speed, lane changes and safe manoeuvres. Practise responding to signs and changing traffic conditions rather than memorising a route.
Fees
Basic fees for an adult without concessions who passes every stage first time and chooses standard licence production.
| Stage | Fee | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| First theory attempt | 55 ₾ | 40 ₾ for the exam + 15 ₾ for standard licence production |
| Driving area | 0 ₾ | Standard attempt |
| Road test | 90 ₾ | One standard attempt |
Total — 145 ₾ in government fees
Collecting your licence
Standard production takes 5 working days after passing the road test. Confirm the collection location and procedure when completing your application.
Expedited production costs 50 ₾ for 1 working day or 40 ₾ for 2 working days. It is a separate service; passing the exam does not automatically mean receiving the card that day.
Check your name, category and transmission restriction when collecting the licence. If you plan to drive outside Georgia, check the destination country’s rules separately.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to attend a driving school?
For category B, candidates aged 18 or over may prepare independently and do not need a driving school completion certificate. Choose practical lessons according to your skills: you need confident car control and a clear understanding of the exam requirements.
Can I get category B at 17?
Yes. Additional documents include a birth certificate (original or notarised copy), a parent’s attendance or notarised consent, and a preparation document from a school or driving school. Concessions apply to minors; confirm the full document list and fees with the Agency.
Must I take all stages in the same city?
You can complete stages at different exam branches. Check that your chosen branch offers the required category B stage and transmission. Your booking specifies the exam location.
Can I book the road test first?
The standard process requires passing theory and the driving area before booking practical stage two. The official calendar shows available places and the dates you can select.
