To obtain a driver's license in Lithuania for the first time, first aid courses are mandatory. They must be completed before taking the theory exam at "Regitra". Here are the main points:
When do you need to complete first aid courses?
- Before registering for the theory exam at "Regitra".
- The course certificate must be valid at the time of the exam.
Who does this apply to?
- Everyone who wants to obtain a first category (B, A, etc.) driver's license for the first time.
- If you already have a valid driver's license but want to add another category – often it is not necessary to retake these courses if the certificate is still valid.
Where can you take the courses?
- At specialized medical institutions or training centers authorized to conduct these trainings.
- In some cases – online (remote + practical training), if permitted.
How long is the first aid certificate valid?
- Usually – unlimited time, but it must be valid at the time of the exam. Sometimes the validity is indicated as 5 years (depending on the category), but it is recommended to check the issued certificate or with the service provider.
Do you need to bring the original certificate to "Regitra"?
- Yes, you need to bring the original first aid course certificate to "Regitra" (or an electronic certificate if it was issued in that format). However, there are some important nuances related to this:
If the certificate is submitted electronically (via the e-health system or otherwise automatically):
- No paper version is needed if it is already in the "Regitra" system (Sometimes course providers send the data directly to the system – but it is worth checking whether the certificate is really visible in "Regitra" data (you can do this by calling or logging into your account on the "Regitra" portal).
If you only have a paper certificate:
- You need to bring the original because without it you will not be registered for the theory exam.
To be sure everything is in order:
- Before the exam, you can contact "Regitra" or log into your account at regitra.lt and check if the certificate is in the system.
- If you completed the courses recently – often the information has not yet been uploaded, so it is better to bring the received certificate.
