In Greece, driving licences are a governmental documents given to those who request a licence to drive and meet set requirements.

Driving licences are required for every type of motorised vehicle. The minimum age to obtain a driving licence is sixteen years for mopeds and low power motorcycles, eighteen years for cars and more powerful motorcycles, and twenty-one years of age for buses and cargo vehicles.[1]

Obtaining a driving licence

[edit]

This driving licence can be obtained after finishing a driving school and passing a two-stage test, the theory test and road test. A primary school diploma is also required to obtain a valid driving licence.

Successful road tests from 2020 onwards grant access to a temporary driving permit (usable for up to six months), allowing its new holders to drive legally at nationwide level until the actual licence is delivered to them.[2]
