Frequently asked questions

Do I need to remove my lenses prior to the exam?

Yes it is recommended that you remove your lenses 12 h prior to the exam and to bring your glasses to your appointment (even if your glasses are outdated)

Yes, whether it is for License C ( Professional driver) or the standard license ( Private driver).
