Until 2011, the Serbian driving licence had a pink booklet format, which was common in Europe at the time. A separate booklet was required for each vehicle category endorsement. Since then, Serbian driving licences are issued in an EU-standard, credit-card-style format. Only one card is required per licence holder as it contains information on all vehicle categories that the holder is allowed to operate.[citation needed]
The Serbian driving licence can be obtained after finishing a driving school and passing a two-stage test, the theory test and road test. A first aid course for drivers and a primary school diploma is also required to obtain valid driver's licence. A medical certificate is also necessary.[2]
The minimum age to obtain a Serbian driving licence varies; for cars, it is 18 years, but the young drivers are only allowed to drive under a stricter regime until the age of 21; for some motorcycles it is 24, or 20 after two years of probation with another motorcycle licence. People can apply for a temporary driving licence at 16 for motorcycles under 125 cc although there are some regulations.[2]
