Service licence for traffic police duties

Infographic: Service licence for traffic police duties

Personnel who perform traffic police duties and already hold a driving licence are issued a specific service licence. This document does not replace the standard driving licence but complements it, allowing the holder to drive vehicles used for official duties such as patrols, inspections, and operational interventions.

The service licence is valid only for driving vehicles assigned to these official functions. It cannot be used for private driving or personal purposes and is limited strictly to service-related activities.

To obtain this licence, a person must already be qualified to drive and must be assigned to traffic police duties. The requirements, procedures, and conditions for issuing this licence are defined by regulations established jointly by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of the Interior.
