The psychotechnical assessment system is designed to promote safe driving and help prevent fatal and injury-related traffic accidents by evaluating drivers' physical and mental fitness.

Following the assessment, the Ministry of Health-approved report is automatically uploaded to Türkiye's e-Government Portal (e-Devlet). This official document confirms that no issues have been identified during the assessment that would prevent the driver from operating a vehicle for commercial purposes.

Psychotechnical assessment has become a legal requirement for individuals who drive professionally.

Drivers required to obtain a psychotechnical certificate include:

  • Commercial vehicle drivers, including taxi, minibus, bus, truck, and heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers.
  • Drivers whose licenses have been confiscated, suspended, or revoked.
  • Water taxi operators, valet drivers, and tram drivers.
