To qualify for a driving license in Singapore, you must be at least 18 years old. Each license class has specific requirements which you should verify which you intend to get before applying:

  • Class 1 – Motorcycles of unlimited engine capacity.
  • Class 2 – Motorcycles with engine capacity exceeding 400cc.
  • Class 2A – Motorcycles with engine capacity not exceeding 400cc and power output not exceeding 30kW.
  • Class 2B – Motorcycles with engine capacity not exceeding 200cc.
  • Class 3 – Motor vehicles (excluding motorcycles) with unladen weight not exceeding 3,000kg.
  • Class 3A – Motor vehicles (excluding motorcycles) with automatic transmission only.
  • Class 4 – Heavy motor vehicles with unladen weight exceeding 3,000kg, such as trucks and buses.
  • Class 4A – Combination of a motor vehicle in Class 4 and its attached trailer with unladen weight exceeding 750kg.
  • Class 5 – Motor vehicles used for driving instruction.
  • Class 5A – Omnibuses.

2) Application Process

  • Submit an online application for the Provisional Driving License (PDL) via the Traffic Police e-services website.
  • Prepare necessary documents such as NRIC, passport-sized photograph, and payment of application fees.
  • Alternatively, visit a designated driving school. Public options include ComfortDelGro Driving Centre (CDC) and Bukit Batok Driving Centre (BBDC) while private choices include finding your own instructors through word of mouth recommendations etc.

3) Basic Theory Test (BTT) and Final Theory Test (FTT)
