Khánh Linh (T/H) |

From March 1, 2025, the testing and issuance of driving licenses (GPLX) will have important changes according to Circular 12/2025 of the Ministry of Public Security.

1. Forms and contents of the test

grades A1, A, B1 (three-wheeled vehicles): Candidates will participate in two competitions including theory and practice in painting. In particular, if they do not pass the theory exam, candidates can continue to take the practical exam in the picture. Reversal

Grades B, C1, C, D1, D2, D and higher grades: Candidates must participate in four rounds including theory, simulation of traffic situations, practice driving in the picture and practice driving on the road. If they do not pass a part, candidates will still be allowed to continue taking the remaining parts. The results of the passing exams will be retained for 1 year, and candidates only need to retake the unsatisfactory part. Reversal

2. Theoretical exam for some cases

Candidates taking the A1 and A driving test if they already have a valid car driving license will be exempted from the theory exam.

3. Flexible theoretical training forms

grades A1, A and B1: Students can study theory on their own or study centrally at a driving training facility.

Grades B, C1, C and higher: Students can choose to study theory in a centralized training facility or distance learning, self-study with guidance. However, the practical driving part is required to study at a training facility. Reversal
