The General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs has issued a final warning to drivers by announcing that old-style driver's licenses will lose their validity as of August 1, 2025. Citizens who do not renew their licenses on time will lose their legal right to drive and will also face high costs.
APPOINTMENT IS REQUIRED
In a post titled "Attention to our citizens holding old-style driver's licenses" on the General Directorate's social media account, it was stated that old-style driver's licenses can be changed by making an appointment at all population directorates until July 31, 2025.
PRICE WILL RISE TO 7 THOUSAND LIRA
It was mentioned in the post that old-style driver's licenses can be renewed for 15 lira during this period, and it was indicated that as of August 1, the renewal fee for class B driver's licenses will rise to 7,438 lira.
HOW TO RENEW A DRIVER'S LICENSE?
For driver's license renewal procedures, citizens must first make an appointment. These appointments can be made through the Alo 199 Call Center, mobile application, or nvi.gov.tr. On the appointment day, applicants must apply to the population directorates with the necessary documents.
WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
The documents that must be presented during the driver's license renewal application are as follows:
- Current (old-style) driver's license,
- Receipt proving that the 15 TL application fee has been paid,
- Driver's health report obtained from authorized health institutions,

NEW LICENSES WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE ADDRESS
The new type of driver's licenses for drivers who complete their application procedures will be printed by the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs and sent to their addresses via PTT. In this process, a temporary driver's license will be issued to prevent citizens from experiencing any inconvenience, and it will be legally possible to drive with this document.
