How do you get a driving licence in Italy?

The process, clearly explained. From paperwork to test day, one question at a time.

Where would you like to start?

D1E extends D1 to combinations with a D1 towing vehicle and a trailer over 750 kg, subject to the vehicle's technical limits.

Professional qualifications

The driving licence identifies the vehicles you may drive; a CQC documents a professional qualification for specified transport.

Special cases

No. A learner permit follows a passed theory test; a temporary permit applies to specific CML renewal procedures.

Documents and registration

At 16 or 17, a B1 candidate is still a minor. Check application signatures and a parent or guardian’s documents with the licensing office.

Driving test

Taking the B test in an automatic car may result in code 78, which restricts driving to automatic vehicles in that category.

Requirements

You can obtain A1 from age 16. A motorcycle must meet all three limits: 125 cc, 11 kW and 0.1 kW/kg.

Requirements

Code 96 extends B to combinations over 3,500 kg and up to 4,250 kg authorised maximum mass after a practical test.
