Upgrading your licence
When you have successfully passed a driving test in a new vehicle category, the additional category must be added to your driving licence. This service is offered free-of-charge by motor taxation offices(PDF).
Simply apply to your local MTO with:
- Completed driving licence application form (D 401)
- Two passport-size photographs (signed on reverse)
- Certificate of competency for the new licence category
- Medical report (Form D 501), if required, this form must be printed back to back
All holders of full driving licences for categories C1 (large van/small truck), C (rigid truck), D1 (minibus), D (bus), EC1 (large van/small truck with trailer), EC (articulated truck), ED1 (minibus with trailer) or ED (bus with trailer) must produce a medical report (completed by a doctor) to add any of these categories to their licence.
If you have previously submitted a medical report for one of these categories and wish to add another category, the report may still be valid. Contact your local Motor Taxation Office to check.
