A new driving license renewal system has entered into force in Turkey, requiring licenses to be renewed every two years instead of three years.
The new system aims to raise safety standards and conduct periodic checks on driver competency.
Turkey is reducing the validity period of driving licenses from three years to two years to enhance road safety. The change includes more frequent periodic checks to verify drivers' health and physical fitness.
Drivers in Turkey will bear additional costs and will be forced to renew their documents at a faster rate, which may impact their families' annual budgets. The measure could lead to delays in processing and increased pressure on traffic offices in the coming years.
