When is the driving test in Turkey? E-exam dates and appointments
Updated 28 September 2026 · 4 min read
There is no single national date for the Turkish driving e-exam. When your theory lessons are finished, your application is made and the e-exam appointment system automatically gives you the nearest free date and time. You must sit the exam at that time; if you do not, you lose one exam attempt.
How is the exam date set?
E-exams run all year round in sessions at exam centres. After you complete your theory lessons, your e-exam application is made and the appointment system gives you the nearest available date and time. The date, time, building and room are printed on your e-exam entry document.
How soon after the course?
You must finish the theory lessons at your driving school first; you can only apply after that. The exact wait depends on your school's timetable and how busy the exam centre is, so ask your school for your date. Once you know it, prepare with the 14-day study plan.
