What is the cost of the theory exam?

The road leading to getting your driver's license is littered with costs. Initially, of course, you have to take or purchase a certain course, but there are also costs associated with taking the theory exam itself. The exact cost you need to consider depends on several factors. These include the type of driving license you wish to obtain as well as whether or not an interpreter is required. After reading the information on this page it will become clear which costs you have to take into account.

The type of driver's license you wish to take

Initially, as far as the cost of the theory exam is concerned, the type of driving license you wish to obtain must be taken into account. For a driving license category AM, A, B and G, the lowest price of 15 euros is charged at a GOCA exam center. If you wish to choose to obtain a category C or D driving license, the price is slightly higher at 17 euros. If you passed the theory exam right away the first time, the cost of the actual exam remains very limited. If you need to take the test several times, however, these can obviously increase slightly.

Additional fee for theory examination in special session

Unfortunately, not everyone just has the opportunity to participate in the regular, theoretical exam for obtaining a driver's license. Several reasons can lie behind this. In the majority of cases, however, these are structural learning, reading and/or writing problems. It goes without saying that these people should also have the opportunity to obtain a driver's license. For this reason, a special session is organized for them. Before having the opportunity to participate in such a session, however, the candidate must present a special attestation. Unfortunately, this certificate is not the only condition for taking the theoretical exam in this way. After all, all the extra efforts that have to be made for this are obviously also accompanied by extra costs. The additional fee for a theory exam in special session for driving licenses AM, A, B and G is 50 euros. In the case of driving licenses C and D, there is an additional fee of 86 euros.

Book your own theory exam?

It is possible that the driving school of your choice charges a certain extra fee when they have to plan the theory exam for you. This is by no means the case with every driving school, but if you want to make sure you don't run into extra costs it can always be interesting to book the theory exam yourself. Look up on the internet which exam centers are in your area, pick up the phone and plan when you want to take the theoretical exam yourself. This is not only the most efficient and easiest for both parties, this way possible extra costs are also avoided with certainty.

Theory exam prices at different exam centers

The cost of the theory exam is the same at all driving schools. This is because they are set by the Belgian government and exam centers cannot deviate from them. This does not only apply to the B license, but also to any other license you may wish to obtain. Are there multiple exam centers in your area to choose from? In that case, you do not have to take into account any difference in cost price.
