Get a learner licence
Apply for a learner driving licence with the Uganda Driver Licensing System (UDLS). Step 1 of getting a driving permit. Pick your permit class and show your driving-school enrollment and a medical report (valid 6 months, paid at the clinic). A government fee applies, priced by class; our team handles the whole application. Government fees are all included in one all-in price. The learner licence is valid 3 months. Pass your IOV test within that window to get the full permit.
