Portugal driving license regulations

Overview

Driving regulations in Portugal outline specific requirements for Category B licenses, which cover vehicles up to 3500 kg and a maximum of nine occupants. Age-related renewal mandates require drivers to renew their licenses at ages 50, 60, 65, and 70, with biennial renewals required after age 70. These renewals are contingent upon medical fitness assessments.

Further guidance from the Institute of Mobility and Transport (IMT) emphasizes that motorists should use the ‘A Minha Carta de Condução’ platform to verify license validity, as legislative changes may affect revalidation requirements. The IMT suggests beginning the renewal process six months before expiration to avoid traffic violations. If a license remains expired for more than two years, additional documentation may be necessary.
