How to get a driving license in Türkiye
Many people would like to obtain a driving license in Turkey, but some people believe that it is not possible, and those seeking this matter face many problems because they do not know the correct way to obtain a license.

There are several conditions that, if met, can obtain the license smoothly.

It is legal in Turkey and you want to obtain a Turkish driving license for the first time and have not previously obtained a license in Turkey.

The cost of obtaining a license ranges from 1,000 to 1,200 Turkish liras, depending on the school in which you studied. After passing the theoretical exam, a date is set for the practical driving test.
