Reclassification or downgrading of driving licence

Licence downgrading or reclassification may take place in the following cases

• voluntary request by the holder
• ordered by the Local Medical Commission because the holder no longer meets the requirements for the licence held or has re-acquired the necessary requirements.

In both cases, the Local Medical Commission transmits, by computer, the driver's data to the Central Operations Office of the Rome Motor Vehicles Department, which prints and dispatches the new driving licence to the address indicated by the interested party.

In the event that the Local Medical Commission cannot manage the reclassification electronically (e.g. due to obstructions, inconsistency between personal data, etc.), the interested party must submit an application to the Motor Vehicle Licensing Office in accordance with the procedures outlined below.

The service is open to all interested parties.

• make an appointment at the offices of the Civil Vehicle Registration Authority, see section "Digital Channels";
• complete and submit the documents listed in the "Documents to be submitted" section.

For payment it is necessary to use PAGOPA via "il portale dell'automobilista", see:
