Tunisia Code ATTT

Overview

The "code" is the written theory exam for a Tunisian driving licence. It is organised by the Agence Technique des Transports Terrestres (ATTT). The ATTT website could not be read for this page, so everything here comes from one undated guide on a car-market website, Automobile.tn. Treat it as a guide and confirm details with the ATTT. This page is thin for that reason.

Exam format

The exam takes place at an examination centre, on a multimedia computer. Candidates see photos of road situations, usually from the viewpoint of a driver, with one question per photo and two or three answers to choose from. Answers are given with coloured buttons. The exam lasts about half an hour and can be taken in Arabic or French.

Topics covered:

• road signs and signalling, and the driver and the vehicle;

• stopping and parking, crossing and overtaking, and priority rules;

• traffic rules and traffic offences;

• first aid, preventive maintenance and energy saving;

• road transport of dangerous goods.

Validity

After passing, you keep the result for one year. In that period you may take no more than six practical tests.

Fees and application

The guide lists a fee of 35 dinars (18 for issuing the licence document and 17 for registration), as listed on the site in 2026. It must be paid before the exam and is not refunded if you miss it.

To register you need:

• the licence application form from the ATTT;

• a photocopy of your national ID card, or for foreigners a residence card or equivalent;

• two recent ID photos;

• a medical certificate issued in the last three months, on the current model;

• the payment receipt;

• a copy of your old licence, if you are adding a category.

The ATTT sets the exam date, usually one to two weeks after registration.
