    Is the true that driving certificate can only last for one year for it to be valid.

      The best way to use the certificate is to use it immediately, you don’t have to wait that long, but its expires in 3month and not 1year.

  • I have been driving for over 2 decades now.
    Never owned a car of my own and never applied for a Driver’s Licence before.
    Is it possible for me to get a Certificate after a drive test, since I am not learning from scratch?
    Thank you, Team A1.
