    How do I renew a learner's driving license?
    Community Answer
    You won't need to renew a learner's driving license as you will be able to qualify for an original driving license if you pass the test. If you don't pass the test, then the BRTA office can tell you what to do from there.

  • Question
    How much does the license cost?
    Community Answer
    First you have to obtain a learners driving license, which varies between 350 - 450 BDT. After passing the test, you apply for your desired license. At this moment for a 2-wheeler the price is 1850 BDT (non-commercial); for light vehicle and 2-wheeler the price is 2450 BDT (non-commercial).

      Tips

      • You can get an agent who'll do all the hassles for you. You'll find them standing outside the building waiting for customers. Don't forget to bargain. They'll take extra 500BDT to 1000 BDT depending on your task. Though this is not the best approach but they can do this while you're busy doing something more important than standing in a never-ending-queue.
        Thanks
