New drivers now have the opportunity to drive immediately, with a temporary driving license, which they will receive digitally on the same day that they successfully pass the driving test!
ΤThe temporary driving license that will be valid for 4 months, will be obtained by the drivers themselves, through the new portal of the public Gov.gr, using the codes of Taxisnet, while they will be able to drive on the same day, without waiting for weeks to receive the official driving license.
The new licenses are the first area of cooperation of the Ministries of Digital Governance and Transport, with the aim of the most comprehensive administrative and digital upgrade of the Transport services, which receive a large number of citizens every day.
The digitization of driving licenses started in the first phase of the temporary digital driving licenses for the new drivers, while the digitization of the process of renewing the thousands of driving licenses will soon follow.
The great benefit for the citizens is that they will digitally submit all their supporting documents for driving licenses, a fact that will minimize their visits and their inconvenience to the competent Transport services.
In particular, as far as the temporary driving license is concerned, the benefit for the citizen is that he will be able to drive immediately after the successful exams, without the interval of the current waiting period of weeks to receive his diploma ". This is doubly important for drivers who are taking a professional diploma exam, as they will no longer need to wait in order to work.
Also, the digitization of the renewal of driving licenses is the next priority set by the Ministries of Digital Governance and Transport, as on the one hand it concerns hundreds of thousands of citizens, on the other hand it also touches on sensitive groups of the population, who need a special covid-19. . Once the process is completed, citizens will not have to go to any service or stand in any queue to renew their diploma, as they will be able to complete the required actions electronically.
The third stage of the digital interventions of the two ministries in the diplomas, concerns the issuance of the initial driving license. However, this will happen later, as there are horizontal actions that require additional interventions at more levels - sectors.
The simplifications
In terms of simplifications and digitizations promoted in the field of driving licenses, the main ones are in three "fronts" and concern:
The medical examinations of the candidate drivers will now be digital. That is, when they are made by doctors, they will be registered directly in the electronic prescription system and from there they will be automatically retrieved by the Transport services, so that the citizen does not have to go from service to service.
The photo of the candidate driver will be digital. So far, the following paradox applies: The photographer creates a digital file, which he converts to analog and delivers it to the candidate driver or driver. The citizen takes this analog file to the police, where it is converted back to digital. From now on, the citizens will submit through gov.gr the digital file with their photo, which will be obtained directly from the services for the issuance of the diploma (it concerns the initial driving license and the renewal).
The third front is that of appointments. In collaboration with the Attica Region, the appropriate applications are designed so that the citizen can make an appointment for the exams (practical and theoretical) impersonally and remotely. Thus, he will not have to go to the District himself to make an appointment or the driving schools will be involved in this process (it concerns the initial driving license).
