New driving licence exams, issuing of new driving licences, extending the expired ones and exchanging foreign driving licences with TRNC driving licences have been suspended until relevant decrees are passed from the Council of Ministers. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the election restrictions which came into force due to the presidential elections and the lack of a government since the elections, the infrastructure needed to implement the decrees related to driving licences and exams were unable to be put in place. Thus, until this is done, the previous decrees will be put back into force as soon as the new cabinet meets to pass these decrees.
