Full explanation
The rules are set by the Regulation on issuing tractor-driver licences, approved by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 217 of 2 April 1994 (edition of 29.09.2026). The licence is issued by the territorial body of the State Service on Food Safety and Consumer Protection in the oblast where the person lives or studies, after a theory exam on the road rules and a practical exam. The applicant needs vocational training for the categories at a licensed school, a medical certificate, two photos and a tax number; driving is allowed from 18. The exams are free; only the blank is paid for. The farm categories: A1 for tractors with an engine up to 73.5 kW, A2 above 73.5 kW, B1 for combines that harvest grain and corn, B2 for forage harvesters, and B3 for harvesters of root crops, potatoes, vegetables, fruit and berries. A category B driving licence does not replace it. During martial law and for 90 days after, a holder of a C1, C, D1 or D driving licence may drive A1, A2, B1, B2 and B3 machines, on public roads only on district roads of local importance. The licence has no expiry, but periodic medical exams are compulsory; a lost licence is replaced by a duplicate. There is no public online check: every licence issued is entered in the State Service's register.
