Obtaining a driver’s license for the first time is an important responsibility in the life of any citizen. In Peru, this category AI document allows drivers to drive vehicles such as sedans, coupes and station wagons, among others, and is also the first requirement to obtain other Class A licenses.
“Our objective is to guarantee a safe and reliable evaluation process, which allows citizens to demonstrate their skills and knowledge behind the wheel,” said Juan de la Cruz, manager of the Touring Evaluation Center.
The Touring and Automobile Club of Peru, in charge of driving and knowledge evaluations for obtaining licenses in Lima, explains the step by step process to obtain your first Class A category I driver’s license:
Health certificate. The first requirement is to pass a medical examination at a center authorized by the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), which guarantees that the applicant has the necessary physical and psychological conditions to drive.
Evaluations of knowledge (rules) and driving skills (handling). Payment for your exams is made first. Pay S/70.04 at authorized banks to take the knowledge and driving exams (does not include vehicle rental), which gives you up to two (02) opportunities for each type of evaluation. Schedule your appointment. You can schedule your evaluation in advance through the website cev.touring.pe/inscriptionby calling (01) 615-9315 option 0, or by sending a message to WhatsApp 994 149 711.
