Updated 13.08.2024: Georgia introduced the city exams since 25.04.2022. Currently, you must also pass a practical second exam - city driving exam. The number of pre-determined exam routes varies by city. In Rustavi, a city near Tbilisi, there are typically 7-8 possible routes, while smaller cities usually have only 2-4. During the exam, you will drive around the city for approximately 40 minutes, demonstrating that you are ready to be an active participant in road traffic. The qualification criteria are strict, and even minor mistakes can result in the exam being stopped. If you live in Georgia and can wait, you can register for an appointment for 90 Lari (~ €31/$34), which is scheduled for 3-4 weeks after you successfully pass the first practical test. For a faster process, you can pay 252 Lari (~ €86/$94) to enter the live queue on the same day. However, due to high demand, you might still need to wait a couple of days.

This was so useful thank you!! I am looking to come to Georgia next month to get my license then I can exchange it for one in my country that would take many years and a lot of money to get. This is exactly the information I was needing, especially about how long it takes to get the card afterwards.
@@TheBashar16 Nope, turns out at the time I sat mine the official website with the study questions had not been updated, so I didn't pass my theory. I would recommend a class as they had many useful tips, had been doing practical lessons, and met his partner who did the theory classes after I had failed, set let me sit in on a lesson and I am pretty sure I would have passed if I did.
Hi glad to have found your video! I am confused can a tourist get a driver’s license in Georgia? I find contradicting info that someone needs to be a citizen to get a international license? Thank you in advance!
@@dpashutskii Thats wrong, noone can get a licence unless being registered as a resident or citizen, its stated in the oficial website dds.georgia.gov/drivers-other-nations#:~:text=Drivers%20with%20foreign%20licenses%2C%20do,Identity%2C%20Citizenship%2C%20and%20Residency.
Thanks for sharing. I was trying to do the theory test on their app, but it’s only available in Georgian even if I change the language to English the questions are still in Georgian. Any Tipps or does it just work on the website?
Hey, I just checked. Both TBC and Bank of Georgia links are working. You need one of those banks to pay. Removed one broken link. The payment is the same as anywhere else as long as you have Georgian bank.
How does it work if you want to do the motorcycle also? You need to do it before the car or after the car license that it will be put in your driver's licence?
Is the drivers license valid world wide if I do one as a tourist? Or do I need to live in Georgia for some time? How much cards you have to answer in the real theory test? What's after the 15 years you need to do a new license? H
Yes, you can get International Driving Permit which works around the world. More extensive list of the countries: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Driving_Permit. Of course it works with limitation, usually it's up to 6 months or 1 year and then you have to replace your driving license with the local one. You answer 30 cards. After 15 years you can get another driving license as usual.
@@dpashutskii nice thanks so much this is helping me a lot because I will come first as tourist and for like 7 weeks and then I will move to Georgia :)
Hi, I think technically it's possible but it will be harder. I can recommend you those guys, they're helping with the whole process including providing the address: bit.ly/slowandsteady-driving-license. You can use my code "SLOWANDSTEADY2024" to get free theory and 1st practice exam registration for free.
Thank you for the video. How can I exchange my driving license from another country, anyone tried? I don’t understand how I can do attenuation and translation of the driver experience certificate
I have never done it, better to ask at the Service Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia in Tbilisi. I am not sure what's attenuation is (maybe you mean notarised?) but you can easily find notary and translator services on the google maps.
Thanks! I didn't, I only hired private theory instructor and private practice instructor. I am afraid I won't be able to find their contacts anymore, it's been a while.
I'm curious, I'm an American.i have been licensed since I was 18.im 38 & I'm from the state of New Jersey.would a valid US license be of any value/help in this?
If you want you can use your American driving license here but it's only valid for 1 year. Afterwards you have to replace it with Georgian one. I think replacement process is easier than getting a new one from scratch. Here is a useful article: expathub.ge/foreign-drivers-license-georgia/
@@dpashutskii Ugh! Thanks for the video. I could not be bothered to do all that! It seems stupid if you have already been driving for over 30 years. Can you just bribe someone?
Theory exam costs 57 Lari (~ $18), practice test costs 31 Lari (~ $10) (weekly attempts). Issuing the license is free on the next 3 days and 55 Lari (~ $18) on the same day. International driving license is 110 Lari (around $35). I think I've mentioned all of this on the video, haven't I?
Yeah it is thank you :) Do you have any information about the stage 2 practical city drive test? I find no information how long this test will be for B :( @@dpashutskii
I was saying it on the video. 25 lari for private instructor and 45 lari for driving school. These prices are for field exam preparation. The cost will be higher if you need to do city practice.
I finished the first and second exam but I failed the third one. I need to know what is the rules about it but I couldn't find any information about it. If you know how its going, can you explain to me. I don't know georgian language, so its really hard to find anything for me. And is there any place I can practice this traffic exam with teacher? Thank for now :)
You mean the traffic exam? I didn't have this part so I don't really know anything about it. I'll try to research/ask people. About preparation. I suppose the same schools as before should offer traffic exams now. Have you asked any of the schools?
@@dpashutskii I tried to contact Artdrive but the number on their site is not working. Can you send the person details to get in contact with them? Thanks in advance!
I am not sure. You have to ask in the police station what's the requirements for exchange. But I assume you'll still have to pass an exam, at least theory.

You're welcome! Well, it's easier than in most of the countries :)
Sounds easy to me. It's 10 times harder in the UK 😅
I have a swedish passport, can I just come and do the test?
@@nahomasress i am norwegian thinking about doing the same let me know how it goes
Thanks dude❤
No problem 👍
My son 17 years now ...he can have driving licence..thanks
Good luck to your son!
@@dpashutskii 🥰🥰🥰
Is the testing center (rustavi) open on Saturdays? & Can we go there at 8 or 9 in the morning and do the test?
I don't know, I would advise you to call them.
how much do I have to pay if I would like to repeat the closed-ground practical, before the period of one week?
Last year it was 31 Lari
@@dpashutskii Thank you!

I think in English it only works on the website.
What are the timings of testing center in Rustavi?
You can take a look yourself on the websites in the description. They are always different.
The links aren't working properly, can you also do a video on them? explaining how you pay and so on?
Hey, I just checked. Both TBC and Bank of Georgia links are working. You need one of those banks to pay.
Removed one broken link.
The payment is the same as anywhere else as long as you have Georgian bank.
I'm in Tbilisi now but how I book the appointment? Bank of Georgia wants a Personal number 😅
I would assume it's your passport/ID number. Don't forget to check "I'm a foreigner" checkbox. If it doesn't work try other links ;)
@@dpashutskii hey, there is not "ima foreigner" box anymore :/
@@TheBashar16 did you manage?
@@isabelbernardes8255 yeah, i passed the theory exam and will take the practical exam on monday
@@TheBashar16hello bro do you have instagram? I have some questions.
How does it work if you want to do the motorcycle also? You need to do it before the car or after the car license that it will be put in your driver's licence?
I believe it's two separate exams. You can do them in any order, but it's separate theory and practice tests.

For the motorcycle driving field exam, do they provide the motorcycle?
Last time I checked motorcycle exam only had theory exam.
In case they added the practice, of course they will provide the vehicle.
So basically what you are saying is that we don't even have to visa or a staying permit?
We can just come there and get the drivers licence?
That's correct.
I just need two wheelers license so it doesn’t require driving test it only need Theory paper of 30 points right?
Yes, last year it only required a theory test.
Without local registration, can i apply licence? Thanks

Hey , thanks for the video . But can you mention please the total for the whole driving licence journey ? Does it exceed 1000 lari ?
It depends on you. I think I mentioned all the costs in there so it depends on how many lessons you'll take.
That's a very useful video!
Could anyone recommend a driving school or an instructor for practical lessons at Tbilisi?
Thanks! I now my friends were studying in "Artdrive" driving school.
@@dpashutskii Thanks for the tip!

Hello
Your video is really helpful thanks for sharing such an important information,
can you tell me which Driving school did you joined ?
Thanks! I didn't, I only hired private theory instructor and private practice instructor. I am afraid I won't be able to find their contacts anymore, it's been a while.
Hi, should i be a resident in georgia to be able to pass the test and get their driving license? can we do the test in english?
Nope. I never was a resident.
Yes, English is supported.
thanks for the video! can I get Georgian drivers license if i only stay for one month?
Yes, there is no requirement for stay days. Technically you can do it within one day.
Thank you for the information, i am going to start the process to get the license, i have a question😅, the exam can be done in english?
Yes! There are many languages available, including English.
Good luck!

How much does driving school cost in your country? Any estimate cost please?
In which country? I lived in many countries :)
@@dpashutskii In the georgia Republic please. The estimate cost of driving school and the cost of taking the test?
