Driving licence renewal in Mongolia
Renewing a Mongolian driving license generally involves visiting a designated service center, undergoing a medical examination, and submitting required documents along with the expired license.
It is advisable to begin the renewal process several weeks before the expiry date to account for potential appointment waiting times for medical checks and processing durations at the service centers. This helps ensure continuity of driving privileges.

The cost for renewing a driving license typically includes a state fee and a service fee, which are subject to change. Specific amounts should be confirmed directly with the Road and Transport Development Center or its official channels. There will also be a separate fee for the medical examination.
What commonly goes wrong
- Ensure the medical certificate is from an officially recognized facility and meets all current requirements.
- Confirm the operating hours and required documents with the specific service center before visiting, as these can sometimes vary.
- Check if any outstanding fines or penalties need to be settled before a license can be renewed.
