Globally Valid Driving License in 1-2 weeks in Georgia without residence, 100% legal
Why Georgia?
You don't need to live in Georgia to get a driving license.
Most countries require a residence permit for this. It's a perfect solution for digital nomads and travelers. You still need to go there and take exams at the police station.
It's not a fake online license.

I got my international motorbike driving license in 1 hour! (+6 hours of training).
Car DL usually takes 1-2 weeks. Plan around 1 week for preparation and you'll be on the safe side.

While in Germany I paid 100$ for 80 min. of driving practice, in Georgia you can get the whole driving license for this money.
1 Training hour costs around 15-25$

It's just up to your driving skills. I practiced directly in Georgia, with their instructors. But there is no mandatory amount of practice hours.
We recommend a minimal amount of practice necessary to be confident on the road and to succeed in the exams.

While in Georgia, you can explore this beautiful and not-yet-mainstream country.
Summer is perfect for hiking and in winter you can go snowboarding & skiing in Gudauri and other amazing ski-resorts - much cheaper than in the Alps.

Georgia is a part of the Geneva and Vienna Conventions, which means you can use the driving license in countries that signed it - most countries in the world. BUT, most probably not in your current country of residence.
PS: If you are an EU resident, you must obtain an EU Driving License to drive there. You can't use the Georgian driving license in the EU as EU resident! Some countries might allow you to exchange it to a local one but not every country without exams.

Who is it for ideally?
- Generally, Georgia follows Geneva and Vienna conventions, meaning it's valid in all countries which also follow these conventions (all the official countries in the world actually). You can check the list here.
BUT! - if you are a resident in a country or in the European Union (EU) - you usually need to exchange it after 6 months of being a fresh resident there. Exchange is easier in some (e.g. Ireland) and harder in some others (e.g. Germany)
- If you plan to exchange it in your own country, please inform yourself from your local authorities before taking the final decision.
So who is this license useful for?
- Perpetual travelers/Digital Nomads = people without any residence who don't stay in one country for more than 185 days; They de-registered themselves from the EU or their country. In this case they can use Georgian DL everywhere in the world, including the EU.
- Residents of (EU) countries that have bilateral agreements with Georgia or just exchange it easily (Ireland, Hungary, Romania etc.)
- Travelers: Many EU residents need a DL for their trips to the USA, Asia, Latin America, Africa or Australia etc. For that it's perfect.
- People moving to a new country: Get your DL fast in Georgia and swap it in the new country or use it there for 6 months at least (check exchange regulations in advance)
- Lost their driving license: Lost it in your country or during a trip? At least you'll be able to drive outside.
- Back-up: Many people just want to have a back-up license. Just in case they lose theirs.
- Collection/Flag Theory: Some people collect passports and driving licenses. The more the merrier.
- Urgency: You need it for a trip abroad super urgently.
- It takes too long in your country or you keep failing
- You need special categories (A, C, D, CE) for international travel only
Who is this license NOT for?
- EU residents (more than 6 months) who want to use it all around the EU only (Except if your country offers exam-free or simplified exchange, like Ireland, Hungary, Romania, Spain, Greece etc.)
- People who want to use it in their own country in general (Unless it has a special agreement with Georgia, ask your local authorities)
- People who just want to buy a license online without any exams and learning! Most providers offering online driving licenses are scammers and will cause you legal trouble. We strongly advise not to use them for your own sake
- In case Your Budget is very limited. Such a trip can bring unpredictable costs (retaking exams, staying longer).
- If you are just looking for a very cheap license. If you do everything by yourself minimum price is around 200€, you can try doing it yourself.

How can I get an international driving license urgently?
Whatever your reasons are - in Georgia (the country) you don't need to be a resident and there's no mandatory amount of classes to visit before you go to the exam, which makes the process super fast. We will help you to book an appointment for the exam so that you get it when you need it.
You still need to prepare for theoretical and practical exams for a car/motorbike though, so plan this time in. You need to be able to drive well to succeed.

How long is the Georgian driving license valid?
It's valid for 15 years (the card) in most countries of the world. Your IDP (international driving permit - the paper book) is valid for 3 years, but you can re-apply for it online, without going to Georgia. You'll get a digital one valid in the USA/Canada and some other countries.
Can I just pay for a Georgian driving license without taking exams?
No. You have to prepare and take exams in Georgia.
Can I get a Georgian driving license if I lost my driving license in my own country?
Yes. You can't use it in the country you've lost your license in, as you are banned from driving there, but you could use it in other countries. PS: If you've lost it in the EU, you are banned from driving in the EU then most probably. Our service is not a way around your EU driving ban.
Can I exchange my Georgian driving license for my local one?
It depends on your country's regulations.
Rule of thumb:
Did you live there for less than 6 months? There's a chance you can swap it.
Did you live there for more than 6 months? It's very unlikely you can swap it.
In any case, ask your local driving school and they'll know best. Many countries in the EU will accept to swap Georgian driving license without any exams even for their residents (e.g. Ireland, Hungary and some more)
