Purpose Identification

In Croatia, the driving licence (Croatian: vozačka dozvola) is the licence for driving vehicles. It is required for every type of motorized vehicle.

Before 2013 the format of the driving licence was a pink booklet which included separate licences for one or more vehicle categories according to the vehicle classification in Croatia. The licence for any category can be obtained after finishing driving school and passing a two-stage test, the theory test and the road test, which test the prospective driver's knowledge of the rules of the road including the speed limits in Croatia.

The minimum age to obtain a Croatian driving licence varies; for cars, it is 18 years, but the young drivers are only allowed to drive under a stricter regime until the age of 24; for some motorcycles it is 24, or 20 after two years of probation with another motorcycle licence.[1]

As of July 1, 2013 Croatia started issuing European driving licences. Old book-format driving licences will remain vaild for their holders until January 19, 2033[2] as per a directive of the European Union.
