Pass the practical test
Two stages: track and city. A passed track is kept — you retake the city only.
Show up on the assigned date with your own car and your own accompanying driver: the intendencia does not provide a vehicle. The test runs in two stages — track and city.
This exam in detailManeuvers, grounds for failure, requirements for the carWhat to bring
- The car: libreta de propiedad — the car’s title (not STX, STU or SES), SOA insurance, technical inspection if the car is over 5 years past registration
- The accompanying driver: 21 or older, a license of the category you need or higher, held at least 2 years
- The Registro de clases prácticas form with the 15 hours in it — they keep it when you take the test
How it goes on the spot
- Taking the test in an automatic limits the license: it will only allow cars with an automatic gearbox.
«Si hacés la prueba práctica en un vehículo automático la licencia que obtengas solo te habilitará a conducir vehículos automáticos»
- Not showing up to an assigned test — theory or practical — carries a charge of its own.
«En el caso de no presentarse el día agendado al examen teórico o al práctico se deberá abonar una multa por concepto de ausente.»
Important
- Taking the test in an automatic limits the license with an «automatics only» note, and it is printed on the document itself.
- The track maneuvers and the grounds for failing are broken down on the practical test page.
- Ask again for the exact place of the test when they assign the date: the intendencia does not publish the track address.
