Know everything

Anyone applying for a category B provisional driving licence must show proof that they have attended a first aid course. This course must have been offered by a recognised organisation and must not have been taken more than 6 years ago.

Provisional driving licence forms can be obtained from your cantonal vehicle authority.

In different cantons, you can also obtain the forms from the district office or from police stations:

• Complete the form and answer all the questions
• Take a sight test from an approved ophthalmologist or optician. The result will be written directly onto the request form. The sight tests must not date back more than 24 months.
• You need one or two colour passport photos for registration
• Checking the list of inhabitants of your place of residence will confirm your identity on first application

After receipt of authorisation for the theory, you will be authorised to sit the theory test.

Once the theory test has been passed and you have reached the minimum age, you will receive your provisional driving licence through the post.

8 hours of theoretical courses on road awareness (mandatory – no exam).
