certificado de motorista de TVDE (CMTVDE) — driver certificate for app-based ride-hailing
A personal document from IMT without which you cannot carry passengers through Uber, Bolt or any other app. It gives the driver a single number that identifies them across all apps. It is issued after a 50-hour initial course and a 30-question exam (the pass mark is 27 correct answers) to people who have held a category B licence for more than three years, with a group 2 endorsement and a clean criminal record certificate. The fee is €30, or 10% less through IMT online. It is valid for five years.
Where you come across it. You apply to IMT, most easily through its online services; while the certificate is being printed, you drive with a temporary document (guia).
Renewal must be requested no later than six months before expiry and involves an eight-hour course, plus an exam at the first renewal. An expired certificate cannot be renewed at all: you have to take the whole initial course again. You must carry the certificate or guia with you, and there is a separate fine for not having it.
