Driver’s license in Lavalleja

First time

The first time page asks for:

• An appointment, on the driver’s license booking (PUNC).
• ID card.
• A valid health card (carné de salud).
• For the professional categories B, C, D and H, the criminal record certificate from Policía Científica.

1. Book online.
2. Pay for the procedure at any payment network.
3. You take the theory test at the Dirección General de Tránsito office. The page says it must be finished before the 180 days of the practical test.
4. The practical test is on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00 to 11:00, at Parque Rodó.

The study guides for the theory test are on the SUCIVE website, under Documentos.

Psychophysical exam

The psychophysical exam is done by the Intendencia’s Dirección General de Higiene and is free. Bring your ID card, a valid health card and the SUCIVE form the Dirección General de Tránsito gives you. Clinical tests are valid for 6 months and the health card for 2 years. Psychophysical certificates from other health centres aren’t accepted.

Renewal

We didn’t find a license renewal page in the Intendencia’s procedure catalogue. To find out what it asks for and what it costs, ask the Dirección General de Tránsito at 4442 2752, extension 121.

Adding a category

To add a category, the category extension page asks for an appointment, your ID card and a valid health card. It costs $ 942 and you pay at any payment network. The practical test is also on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00 to 11:00, at Parque Rodó.

Duplicate

For theft, loss or damage, the duplicate gives you a new permit in the same category, grade and term as the original. It needs an appointment and, if it was stolen or lost, the police report. The page says 1.50 UR, and explains that for loss or theft with a police report the duplicate costs 50% of what you paid for that permit.

Cost

The first time page, updated on 14/09/2026, publishes 1.50 UR (Unidad Reajustable) and scales the cost by term:

The DGI publishes the UR’s value each month.

Office

Dirección General de Tránsito: José Batlle y Ordóñez 546, Minas. Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 14:30. Phone 4442 2752, extension 121. The pages don’t name license offices outside Minas; the psychophysical exam is also done at the juntas locales in the table.

The categories and their validity by age, the same across the country, are on the driver’s license page.
