All guides
From registration to the test: documents, requirements, study and practical tests for an Italian driving licence.
Documents and registration
Can you use your health card instead of the tax-code card?
For a category B application, the MIT accepts a copy of your tax code or the health card that shows it.
Requirements
Electric quadricycle: which details show whether B1 is enough
To identify the required licence, check the electric quadricycle’s approved category, mass and power in its official documents.
Requirements
Hybrid cars for new drivers: check the registration number
A hybrid badge is not enough to decide whether a car is allowed: check its registration and the applicable official limits.
Requirements
Emergency triangle: when to use it and where to place it
A warning triangle marks a stopped vehicle in specified cases; placement and distance depend on visibility and road type.
Professional qualifications
KB professional certificate for taxi and chauffeur services: requirements and exam
CAP KB is linked to taxi and chauffeur services using B1 or B vehicles; it is separate from the driving licence and local service permits.
Documents and registration
Licence application: can a health card prove your tax code?
MIT accepts a copy of the tax-code card or health card showing it; check that the details match the rest of your file.
Requirements
A2 licence: how to check a motorcycle’s power-to-weight ratio
An A2 motorcycle must stay within 35 kW and 0.2 kW/kg; check the ratio, power and original version using approved data.
Documents and registration
Can you take the practical test in another province?
A transfer may be needed for the file and previous attempts: coordinate with both UMC offices before booking.
Theory test
AM theory test: what to study before the quiz
Review signs, priority, safety and moped rules for the AM theory test, using the current official syllabus.
Documents and registration
Where to apply for a licence: which motorisation office is responsible?
The office depends on your declared residence and applicable rules; confirm address, appointment and documents with the UMC before filing.
Requirements
AM licence: when can you carry a passenger?
With AM, you may carry a passenger only from age 16 and only on a moped or quadricycle approved for two people.
Getting your licence
Progressive A2 licence: how the course without an examination works
The gradual A2 route requires age 18, A1 held for two years and an authorised course.
Requirements
New-driver limits: the difference between 75 kW/t and 105 kW
75 kW per tonne and 105 kW are different thresholds; both apply to M1 plug-in cars during the first three years.
Documents and registration
Licence medical: can you bring a digital photo on your phone?
The doctor submits the photo for a dematerialised certificate; ask in advance whether a file is accepted and what specifications apply.
Requirements
Car seat: height threshold and anti-abandonment device
Below 1.50 m, a child needs an approved restraint; under four, an anti-abandonment device is also required in covered vehicles.
Special cases
How to check the points balance on your driving licence
Check the Portale dell’Automobilista with SPID or CIE, or use the telephone channel listed by MIT.
Requirements
Can you drive a nine-seat van with a category B licence?
Yes, if the vehicle meets category B limits for mass and carries no more than eight passengers in addition to the driver.
Documents and registration
Driving in Italy: which residence permit do non-EU applicants need?
Non-EU applicants for a motorisation procedure must document lawful stay with a permit or, in specified cases, an application receipt.
Professional qualifications
Category C and the goods CQC: what does each document authorise?
