Driving theory test in Luxembourg

To obtain a driving license in Luxembourg, it is not enough just to pass the SNCA test. While this is an important step, it is not the one and only one.

1. Firstly, you need to make sure that you are eligible to be a driver in the first place and fulfil the formal requirements: an appropriate age, and no harmful habits or chronic diseases.
2. Also, you will need to choose a driving school: there are 40 accredited schools in Luxembourg, however, not all of them, for example, are teaching in English.
3. Finally, prior to studying theory and taking the driver's theory test in Luxembourg, an applicant for a driving license must undergo a medical examination at the SNCA.

At the driving school, students learn the traffic rules of the Grand Duchy – the Code de route – which are the basis of the SNCA theory test.

Only after all the passes have been obtained can you register for the driving theory test at SNCA. It is worth studying the traffic rules and doing an online driving test beforehand.

Knowing the traffic regulations is believed to be the key to passing both the theoretical and practical driving tests in Luxembourg. To pass the SNCA theory test, you'll need a solid grasp of road signs (prescriptive, prohibitive, informative, etc.), priority rules, road marking requirements, and proper behavior in various traffic situations. The latest regulations are available on the official website of the Luxembourg Association for the Prevention of Road Accidents.
