How to get a license through State Services after passing the exam
When all the exams have been passed, you can submit an application in the State Services portal for a driver's license - just sign up for a specific date using the draft application used when registering for the exam and wait for approval.
As soon as the chosen date is officially confirmed, go to the appointed time, taking a complete package of documents.
Note: Obtaining a driving license after the exam by registering with the State Services will take no more than 60 minutes.
How to sign up for a retake if you fail
If the traffic police test to obtain a license was failed once, you can retake it again; usually 7 days are given for retraining. The driver has exactly six months to pass the practical part of the exam; after this period, he will have to retake the driving theory exam. After 3 unsuccessful attempts to obtain a license, the interval between tests will be increased to 1 month.
Registration is also carried out through the State Services resource:
To re-register with the traffic police for the exam, follow the same steps that you used on your first attempt. You need to join the electronic queue and register the time/place of the exam. You will not have to pay the state fee again. As described above, if you pass the theory component of the test, but fail the other two, you have exactly six months to retake without retaking the theory.
