In addition, according to Circular 37/2023/TT-BTC, the driving license exam fees for all classes have been adjusted to increase compared to the current level. Specifically, in the Appendix issued with Circular 37/2023/TT-BTC, the driving license exam fees for all classes from August 1, 2023 have specific regulations on the increase levels.
Compared to the current fee collection rate stipulated in Circular No. 188/2016/TT-BTC, the new collection rate will increase by 10-50%, and at the same time, additional fees for driving test using simulation software will be added.
For driving license exams for classes A1, A2, A3, A4, the theoretical and practical test fees have both increased by 20,000 VND/time. The fees after the increase are 60,000 VND/time for theory test and 70,000 VND/time for practical test.
For the driving license test (class B1, B2, C, D, E, F), the theoretical test fee has increased to 100,000 VND/time (an increase of 10,000 VND compared to the current level of 90,000 VND/time).
