Notes

  • The required fees are paid via the Electronic Fee (e-fee) Application. Fees are not required for filing an application.
  • Estimated time of implementation: up to 30 days after successfully completing the CPC practical examination, provided the application was submitted via a Citizen Service Centre (KEP).
  • From the date applicants successfully complete the practical examination, they shall be deemed to be holders of a CPC for initial training concerning the carriage of goods or passengers, as applicable, valid for five years. Holding a CPC for initial training is solely and exclusively proven through indication of the Community code ‘95’ on the driving licence.
  • The Community code must be indicated on the driving licence, which must be valid, by following the printing procedure laid down in Article 17 of Ministerial Decision No 50984/7947/2013 (Government Gazette, Series II, No 3056), filling in column 12 of Community code ‘95’ and the expiry date of the CPC next to those of categories D1 or D1E or D or DE the applicant already holds or which now become effective, irrespective of whether the applicant has applied for and obtained a CPC for any of the aforesaid categories.
  • The same procedure applies to categories C1 or C1E or C or CE. The date of expiry of the CPC is independent from the date of expiry of the driving licence and, therefore, the code 95 indicated must be carried over to the new driving licence, if renewed.
  • The applicant will collect the driving licence in person from the Directorate for Transport and Communications of the Regional Unit concerned or from the Citizen Service Centre with which the relevant application was filed.

        There is no tacit approval or tacit rejection of requests, nor payment of the amount. This is because, should the applicant driver be referred to the CPC practical examination stage, it means that they have successfully completed all the prerequisite stages. Otherwise, they would have been informed that the prerequisite stage in question was not completed and, therefore, that the procedure would not progress to the final stage of practical examination. If the practical examination is successfully completed, the necessary Certificate will then be issued/printed, either by re-printing the driving licence with the Community code ‘95’ incorporated or by issuing a Driver Qualification Card.
