Driving licence renewal in Tunisia
Renewing a Tunisian driving license typically involves submitting an application, medical certificate, and other required documents to the Agence Technique des Transports Terrestres (ATTT). The process is handled by the regional ATTT offices.
It is generally advisable to begin the renewal process several weeks before the current license expires. This allows ample time to gather all necessary documents, obtain a medical certificate, and account for potential processing times at the ATTT offices, which can vary depending on location and workload.

The cost for renewing a Tunisian driving license typically includes a fixed duty stamp (timbre fiscal) fee and potentially other administrative charges. Applicants should confirm the current exact amounts with the Agence Technique des Transports Terrestres (ATTT) or their local ATTT office, as fees can be subject to change.
What commonly goes wrong
- Ensure the medical certificate is recent and issued by an authorized practitioner, as outdated certificates may be rejected.
- Verify the expiry date of the current driving license well in advance to avoid driving with an expired license.
- Check the specific opening hours and required documents for the local ATTT office, as minor variations can occur.
- Make sure all photocopies of documents are clear and legible to prevent delays in processing.
