Study materials
The road to a driving licence, step by step
Short guides for matters outside the school. Rules and fees change and differ between offices — each guide says where to check the current ones.
The road to the licence
PKK number
The Candidate Driver Profile (PKK) is created by the local office. Without its number the school can't enrol you on a course or book you for exams.
Internal exam
At the end of the course the school checks your theory and driving, on the same rules as the WORD. Passing the internal exam opens the way to the state exam.
State exam at WORD
You take the exam at the voivodeship road traffic centre (WORD). First theory, then practice: the manoeuvring area and at least 40 minutes in traffic.
Collecting your driving licence
After passing the practical test you can drive right away: a temporary licence is in mObywatel, and the office orders the plastic document.
