The Traffic Police (TP) will revise fees for all driving tests from 13 March 2026. Additionally, Class 3C / 3CA driving licence holders¹ , whose employers have submitted declarations of support for them to take the Class 4 / 4P driving licences since 15 September 2025, will be able to book their mandatory road assessment from 13 March. They will only be able to enrol for Class 4 / 4P driving lessons after passing the road assessment. 

Revised Test Fees

The driving test fees were last revised in 2016. Given the rising operating costs, TP will raise driving fees progressively over the next few years, as follows: 

Basic Driving Theory Test, Final Driving Theory Test and Motorcycle Riding Theory Test: Increase from $6.50 to $7.20 (effective 13 March 2026), and to $8.00 (effective 13 March 2027).

Practical Riding Test, Practical Driving Test and Proficiency Driving Test: Increase from $33.00 to $40.00 (effective 13 March 2026), then to $45.00 (effective 13 March 2027), and subsequently to $50.00 (effective 13 March 2028).

The fee revision applies to applicants who book their tests on or after the respective effective dates. Those who booked their tests before these dates will not be affected.

Road Assessment Implementation for Class 3C / 3CA Licence Holders

TP introduced the mandatory road assessment requirement on 15 September 2025 to enhance road safety². All Class 3C / 3CA driving licence holders (i.e. those who converted their foreign driving licence) must pass the road assessment before they can enrol for Class 4 / 4P driving lessons.

The road assessment evaluates the motorist’s overall competency to drive a Class 3 / 3A motor car in actual traffic conditions, covering basic vehicle control including mirror checks, signalling, speed control, positioning, junction navigation, interaction with other road users, and adherence to traffic laws.

All Class 3C / 3CA driving licence holders whose employers have submitted declarations of support from 15 September 2025 will be contacted by TP to proceed to the Singapore Safety Driving Centre (SSDC) to register for their road assessment from 13 March 2026. TP will conduct the road assessment at Woodlands Test Centre within SSDC. 

The road assessment fee will be the same as the practical test fee of $40.00 (effective 13 March 2026), and subject to the same progressive increase to $45.00 (effective 13 March 2027) and subsequently to $50.00 (effective 13 March 2028). Additional fees will apply for the road assessment beyond the test fee, including vehicle rental and administrative charges imposed and determined by the driving school. Candidates may refer to SSDC’s website for more information. 

Class 3C / 3CA licence holders who fail the road assessment will not be allowed to enrol for Class 4 / 4P lessons.  Their Class 3C / 3CA licences will also be revoked given that they are found to be not competent to drive even Class 3 / 3A motor cars. They will not be allowed to obtain a driving licence of any class within one year of the licence revocation date.  


[1]: Class 3C / 3CA licence is granted to Work Permit and S Pass holders upon successful conversion of their foreign driving licence. This will allow them to drive only motor cars with unladen weight equal to or less than 3,000kg with seven or fewer passengers.
