Certificate for drivers: when and how to get it?

Health checks are conducted by a family doctor, an occupational medicine physician, or a commission for medical certificates for drivers. The medical certificate is issued in digital format through the health system and is available personally to the individual in the Transportation electronic service.

Digital health certificate

According to § 101 part 2 of the Traffic Law, the applicant for obtaining a driving license must undergo training no earlier than six months before the start of driver education, and the driver periodically undergoes medical examinations, during which their health status and fitness to operate a vehicle are assessed.

Thus, if a person does not yet have a driving license for any category (they have never attended a driving school), they must undergo a medical examination no earlier than six months before starting their training.

Driver’s Medical Certificate: Categories and Key Details

If a person wants to enroll in a driving course for category B, they must first undergo a medical examination. If the doctor determines that the individual’s health meets the requirements, they are issued a 1st group medical certificate.

Using the Certificate for Other Categories:

  • If the person already has a 1st group certificate and wishes to take training for category A, they do not need a new medical examination. The existing 1st group certificate remains valid and allows them to start training.
  • However, if the person wishes to train for category C or other professional categories, they must undergo a new medical examination. Upon meeting the necessary requirements, they are issued a 2nd group certificate, suitable for professional drivers.

Who Conducts the Medical Examination?

The medical examination can be conducted by:

  1. A family doctor (perearst).
  2. An occupational health doctor (töötervishoiuarst).
  3. A traffic medical commission (liiklusmeditsiini komisjon).

Issuing and Accessing the Certificate

  • The certificate is issued digitally through the national health information system.
  • It is automatically made available in the e-service portal of the Transport Administration (Transpordiamet).
