To obtain a European tachograph card, you must have a driver’s license. No additional courses on mastering the tachograph are required.

If you decide to get a driver’s Tachograph card, prepare the following documents:

• Passport scan copy;
• Driver’s license scan copy (both sides);
• 1 Document photo on white background in electronic format (face covering 70% of the area);
• Completed application forms.

After submitting all documents, the Tachograph card will be ready in one month.
