In order to obtain a permit to operate a training unit, you must complete form AE 002.
Applications for a driving school licence, a licence to operate an establishment unit and a site approval must be sent by registered mail.

The following documents must be attached to the application:
1) a declaration made on honour attesting to the use of the premises for the administration of the training unit;
2) a diagram indicating the scale of the classroom and, where applicable, the training area, including the equipment referred to in Articles 15 and 16 and the categories of instruction requested;
