It confirms that the holder has met the required standards of knowledge (theory), practical driving skills, and medical fitness, and is therefore considered competent to drive safely within the law.

• Issued after passing theory and practical exams.
• Valid for specific vehicle categories (e.g. car, motorcycle, truck).
• Must be carried while driving (depending on country rules).
