Driving licence in Northern Cyprus is the official document issued in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to authorise its holder to operate various types of motor vehicle on public roads.
Without either citizenship or a residency permit, TRNC licences cannot be obtained.
TRNC car and motorcycle licences can be obtained at the age of 18, following a theory and practical exam on public roads.
Despite the TRNC being an internationally unrecognised state, TRNC licences are valid for use worldwide for the time frame set by the relevant country,[citation needed] as are all other licences.
[citation needed] Since the opening of the border checkpoints in Cyprus, the Republic of Cyprus accepts TRNC issued licences as valid for use on their roads for 12 months.
