2027 driver's license fee and MTV increase have been announced

With the announcement of TÜİK's October inflation data, the new year's Revaluation Rate (RRA) became clear. The rate was 27.83 percent. Therefore, the 2027 MTV increase and the increase in driving license fees have also been announced. In addition, this rate concerns a wide range of segments, from vehicle owners to those who will get a new driver's license.

YDO determines the increase rate applied to taxes, penalties and fees every year. For this reason, the fees to be paid by those who will get a new driver's license will increase. Moreover, the Motor Vehicle Tax (MTV) amounts paid by vehicle owners every year will increase significantly. In other words, the same rate affects two different items together.

Driving License Fees and Total Cost

When obtaining a driver's license, not only the fee is paid. In addition, the cost of valuable paper and the foundation's share of strengthening the police force are also included in the total cost. Therefore, no single item determines the candidates' budget.

However, driving school and driving test fees are not included in this amount. Because these fees are determined by the Governorship commissions according to the provinces. Therefore, the total cost for a Class B driving license, excluding the course, consists of these items.

Estimated 2027 amounts with an increase of 27.83 percent are as follows:

Class A fee: from 2,240 TL to approximately 2,863 TL

Class B fee: from 6,754.60 TL to approximately 8,634 TL

Valuable paper price: from 1,690 TL to approximately 2,160 TL

Foundation share service fee: from 425 TL to approximately 543 TL

Class B total cost (excluding course): 8,869.60 TL to approximately 11,337 TL

2027 MTV Increase Amounts

MTV is paid in two equal installments every year in January and July. Additionally, the 2027 MTV increase is expected to be 27.83 percent. Below are the estimated prices of cars put into traffic after January 1, 2018, according to age and engine volume. Amounts were divided according to age groups.

1-3 year old cars:

0 - 1300 cc: from 5.750 TL to approximately 7.350 TL

1301 - 1600 cc: from 10,016 TL to approximately 12,803 TL

1601 - 1800 cc: from 17.705 TL to approximately 22.632 TL

1801 - 2000 cc: from 27.898 TL to approximately 35.662 TL

4-6 year old cars:

0 - 1300 cc: from 4.010 TL to approximately 5.126 TL

1301 - 1600 cc: from 7.510 TL to approximately 9.600 TL

Deadline to Avoid the Raise: December 31

There is a limited time for candidates who will obtain a new driver's license to benefit from the 2026 tariff. First of all, they need to pay the fees and card fees before the end of the year. Then, they must complete their appointments with the civil registry office. For this reason, candidates who want to avoid a raise should not leave the transactions until the end of the year.

It is unclear whether the President will decide to reduce MTV or fees with special authority. However, this issue will be finalized with the Official Gazette notification to be published at the end of December. Therefore, it will be understood at that time whether there will be a discount or not. Therefore, it is necessary to see the 2027 MTV increase amounts as an estimate for now.
