So, I’ve been wanting to get a Slovak driving license for a while now. It’s a bit of a hassle, but I finally got it done. Here’s how it went down.
First off, I found out there are a couple of ways to do this as a foreigner. You can either take driving lessons and classes right here in Slovakia, or you can try to get it online. I went with the online route because, well, it seemed easier.
I started by digging around the internet to see what I needed. Turns out, you gotta be at least 17 to get a learner’s permit, and you need a medical check-up. No big deal, I’m way past 17, and getting a medical check is pretty standard stuff.

- Hit up a website. I found this place online that helps you with all the paperwork.
- Fill out some forms. It was your basic personal info, nothing too crazy.
- Send in the documents. I had to scan my passport, my medical certificate, and a few other things.
- Pay the fee. Yeah, there’s always a fee, right? But it was manageable.
After sending everything in, it was just a waiting game. I was kind of nervous, not gonna lie. But then, bam, I got an email saying everything was good to go! They sent me my certificate instantly. All mobile-friendly, no timers, and no hidden fees. It was surprisingly smooth.
I was pretty stoked. The whole process was way less painful than I thought it would be. I didn’t have to deal with going to a driving school or any of that. Just filled out some forms, sent some emails, and boom – I got my Slovak driving license.
So yeah, if you’re thinking about getting a Slovak driving license, going the online route is definitely worth considering. It worked out for me, and it might work out for you too!
