The application checklist (table)

DocumentDetails
Form TT2112Completed: at Motorizzazione counters or online
ID + codice fiscaleValid, with photocopies
Medical certificateFrom an authorized doctor, with a โ‚ฌ16 revenue stamp; the GP's anamnestic certificate comes first
Passport photos2โ€“3, recent, light background
PagoPA paymentsGenerated on the Portale dell'Automobilista (SPID/CIE): theory โ‚ฌ26.40 + โ‚ฌ16 stamps
Non-EU citizensValid residence permit (permesso or carta di soggiorno)

Exam day: what to bring and what happens

Bring the ID you registered with. You're identified in the room, then type your codice fiscale at the workstation: the 20 minutes for 30 questions start there. Phones and smartwatches must be off and stored โ€” using them voids the test. Candidates with a certified DSA (specific learning disorder) are entitled to extra time and audio support: request it when applying. Non-natives note: no dictionaries or translators are allowed โ€” the vocabulary work happens before, with the bilingual method.

Paperwork mistakes that cost weeks

A medical certificate expired relative to the application, non-compliant photos, PagoPA payments with the wrong causale, or a residence permit under renewal without the receipt: these are the classic reasons files get rejected. Double-check everything before the counter โ€” or delegate just the paperwork to an agency/driving school while keeping the study private.

๐Ÿ“– Useful definitions

  • SPID/CIE โ€” the digital identities used to access the Portale dell'Automobilista.
  • DSA โ€” specific learning disorders: entitle candidates to compensatory measures at the exam.
