In this case, the applicant must authorise their employer by completing the Authorisation for submission of applications (“Pooblastilo za vložitev vloge”) form.

The compulsory annexes to be attached to an application for a train driving licence vary according to the type of application. To this end, in order to facilitate the examination of the necessary annexes and the processing of the application, it is obligatory to attach a completed form Annex to the application for an authorisation (“Priloga vloge za izdajo dovoljenja”), which indicates for each type of application which mandatory annexes must be attached.

The supporting documents must also comply with other conditions as set out in the Procedural Requirements and Use of Language.

To facilitate the completion of the authorisation application form, Instructions for filling in the Authorisation Application Form have also been prepared.

 

The safety authority shall issue the train driving license no later than one month after the application is complete.
