The first step in your application process for a Bolivia learner driver license will be to go to the police station in your city (transito). There, after presenting police officers with proof of your age, legal residency, and your previous driver's license (if you have one), they will give you a written test. An eye screening and Knowledge Test will be given.

Once passed, a Learner's Permit will be issued. The Learner's Permit will be valid for one year. If you are under age 18, a waiting period behind the wheel driving experience is required prior to taking the skills test.

If you are told you must take the police-issued written test, the pre-requisite for the written test is a 3-day study course which you must schedule in advance. Police will give you instructions as to when and where to take the course.

• Your full name and surnames
• Your date of birth
• Your nationality
• Your address
• Your fingerprint
• Your carnet number (a Bolivian I.D. card if you are a legal resident),
• The type of driving you are allowed to do (cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, private vehicle, commercial vehicle, and so forth).
• It will also contain an expiration date.

An initial Learner's Permit is issued to any individual, 18 years of age or older, who has never been licensed to operate a vehicle, a new resident who has never been licensed, or a new resident who has been licensed in another state but whose driver's license has been expired longer than 6 months.

Having passed all required courses and tests, you can now begin gathering the remaining documentation that you will have to present to apply for a Bolivian drivers permit.

This license is used when learning how to drive.

You may or may not also be asked for a Registro de Domicilio. This is a document you get from the PTJ (Judicial Technical Police) next door. For a fee, a PTJ officer will go to your home with you to verify that you live where you say you live, and then will fill out a certificate stating youve proven your place of residence. This will take up another full day of your time as you can't pick up that certificate until the next day because it has to be signed by someone important first.
