Stages of obtaining a driver\u2019s license in Georgia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Getting a driver\u2019s license in Georgia is a completely achievable task if you know where to start and how not to get lost at each stage. Let us look into what awaits you on the way to the cherished license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nRegistration at the Service Agency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The first step is registration at one of the Service Agency branches (Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia). Finding the nearest one is very simple: such centers exist in all major cities, including Batumi and Tbilisi. On site, you submit documents, fill out an application, and pay the state fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right there you can sign up for the first stage of the exam or via the official website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia<\/a>. You need to select a date, time, and enter your personal details. It is important to consider that by booking theory, you are simultaneously booking the maneuvering yard test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udccc The booking fee is about 60 GEL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nChoosing a driving school or preparing independently<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In Georgia, attending a driving school is not mandatory: you have the right to prepare for the exam independently. This is great news for those who already have driving experience or want to save money. However, if you are a beginner or prefer structured learning, a driving school will help you understand traffic rules, specifics of Georgian roads, and prepare for the exam. In large cities the choice of driving schools is extensive, and tuition prices and quality can be compared via reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nDriver\u2019s license exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Theory exam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The theory exam is a computer test where you will have to answer questions on traffic rules, road signs, and the basics of safe driving. Category B question sets include 32 sections or 1792 questions. The exam can be taken in Georgian, Russian, or English, which is very convenient for foreigners. The questions are in multiple-choice format, and to pass you need to answer correctly at least 27 out of 30. 30 minutes are given for the test, but most people manage faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip:<\/strong> Before the exam, make sure to study the test questions and practice on online tests<\/a>. The website offers an option to translate questions into Russian. You can also download the app with questions on Android<\/a> and the iPhone<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important:<\/strong> If you fail the exam, a retake can be attempted after one week by booking an available date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nPractical exam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The practical part consists of two stages: first the closed track (maneuvers, parking, slalom, overpass), then driving into the city. On the closed track, your driving technique and ability to perform standard exercises are assessed. To prepare for passing, you can contact any driving school or private instructor. You can pass the closed track on the same day as the theory exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The maximum score is 100, of which you can lose up to 39. If you score fewer than 61 points, you will fail the closed track test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A service center car is used for the exam, but you can choose the transmission: automatic or manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important:<\/strong> If you do not pass the maneuvering track on the first attempt, you can try again on the same day by paying 31 GEL. A retake is allowed daily, but for an additional fee. You can retake the exam for free only after one week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After successfully passing the closed track, sign up for the city road test at the Service Agency of MIA of Georgia or on the official website<\/a>. Special routes are designated for taking the city driving test. There you must demonstrate confident and safe driving in real conditions: obeying signs, making correct turns, stops, and interacting with other road users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
City driving must be passed within one year of passing the closed track, otherwise you will have to start over with the theory exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udccc The exam fee is 91 GEL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important:<\/strong> If you do not pass the exam on the first attempt, you must book the next retake, which costs 252 GEL. The first retake is possible as early as the next day, and each subsequent one after a week. However, if you are willing to wait a month or longer, the second attempt will cost you 91 GEL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
