Why you need the test video recording

The video recording captures how exactly the practical test went. It is an objective source that makes it possible to check whether there were violations by the examiner and whether your actions were assessed correctly. That is why the recording is important evidence if you plan to appeal the test results.

How to obtain the recording: step by step

• Prepare a written request to the relevant Ministry of Internal Affairs service center.
• State your details, the date and place of the test, and the essence of the request (to provide the video recording).
• Submit the request in the prescribed way and keep proof of submission.
• Wait for the reply within the time limit set by law.

Since recordings may be stored for a limited period, you should apply as soon as possible after the test, without delay.

If the recording is refused

A refusal without grounds is no reason to give up. You have the right to receive information that concerns you, within the limits provided for by law. A refusal or inaction can be challenged. In such cases the help of a lawyer is useful, who will correctly formulate the request and, if necessary, the complaint.
