A.18 years of age
B.16 years of age
C.17 years of age
D.21 years of age
Explanation: Rule 2.3 of the Mongolian Road Traffic Rules (Government Resolution No. 239 of 2018) grants the right to drive Category A, B, C and M vehicles and subcategory C1 from age 18. The Law on Road Traffic Safety (Article 4.3) leaves these age limits to the Rules.
2What is the statutory minimum age requirement in Mongolia to obtain a Category D driver licence to operate passenger buses designed to carry more than 8 passengers?
A.18 years of age
B.19 years of age
C.20 years of age
D.21 years of age
Explanation: Rule 2.3 of the Mongolian Road Traffic Rules grants Category D and subcategory D1 (passenger vehicles with more than 8 seats besides the driver's) only from age 21. The exam procedure also requires at least 6 months of Category B driving experience before the D test.
3How is a Category B motor vehicle defined under the Mongolian Road Traffic Rules?
A.Motorcycles and light three-wheeled motorized vehicles with engine displacement not exceeding 125 cc
B.Motor vehicles with maximum authorized mass not exceeding 3,500 kg and seating not more than 8 passengers excluding driver
C.Heavy transport vehicles with a maximum authorized gross mass exceeding 3,500 kg
D.Articulated commercial passenger vehicles with capacity for 16 or more seated passengers
Explanation: Rule 2.1 defines Category B as a motor vehicle with a gross mass not exceeding 3,500 kg and no more than 8 seats besides the driver's, which may tow a trailer with a gross mass of up to 750 kg.
4Under Rule 3.1 of the Mongolian Road Traffic Rules, which documents must the driver of a private passenger car have while driving?
A.A valid licence for the vehicle's category, the vehicle registration certificate, and the driver's insurance certificate
B.A valid licence and the vehicle registration certificate only; proof of insurance may be kept at home
C.A valid licence, the registration certificate, and the driving-school evaluation sheet used for the licence test
D.A national ID card only, because the licence category is printed on the ID card
Explanation: Rule 3.1 requires a valid licence (or temporary permit) for the vehicle's category, the vehicle registration certificate and the driver's insurance certificate. Cargo or other documents required by law are added when relevant. Under Rule 3.3, the driver must present these documents when stopped.
5How do the Mongolian Road Traffic Rules and the police alcohol-testing procedure treat drinking and driving for an ordinary car driver?
A.Driving is lawful below 0.8‰ blood alcohol; only drivers above that level count as drunk
B.Driving after drinking alcohol is prohibited; a breath reading of 0.20‰ (or 0.5‰ in blood) counts as proof of alcohol use
C.Alcohol rules apply only to bus, taxi and truck drivers, not to private car drivers
D.Drinking is allowed if the driver waits one hour per drink, whatever the test shows
Explanation: Rule 3.7(а) prohibits driving after using alcohol, narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances. Under the police testing procedure (joint ministerial order А/138, А/131 of 2016), a driver is treated as having consumed alcohol at a breath reading of 0.20‰ or a blood reading of 0.5‰. The safe choice is not to drink at all before driving.
6What must a driver immediately do upon being involved in a road traffic collision in Mongolia?
A.Drive immediately to the nearest police station to report the event
B.Stop the vehicle immediately, turn on hazard warning lights, and set up the emergency warning triangle
C.Move the vehicle to the road shoulder before checking for injuries to prevent traffic congestion
D.Negotiate a monetary settlement with other parties and leave the scene
Explanation: Rule 3.5(а) requires a driver involved in a crash to stop immediately, switch on the hazard lights and set out the warning triangle as Rule 9.5 requires. The driver must not move the vehicle or items connected with the crash. Rule 3.5 then requires first aid, calling an ambulance and reporting to the police.
7In built-up areas (суурин газарт), what is the minimum statutory distance at which an emergency warning triangle must be placed behind a disabled or accident-involved vehicle?
A.At least 5 metres
B.At least 15 metres
C.At least 30 metres
D.At least 50 metres
Explanation: Rule 9.5 requires the warning triangle to face approaching traffic from the dangerous side. It must be at least 15 m from the vehicle in a built-up area, 30 m on roads outside built-up areas and 50 m on a тууш зам (sign 5.1 road).
8Outside built-up areas (суурин газрын гадна), what is the minimum statutory distance at which an emergency warning triangle must be placed behind a stopped vehicle?
A.At least 10 metres
B.At least 15 metres
C.At least 30 metres
D.At least 100 metres
Explanation: Rule 9.5 sets the minimum warning-triangle distance on an ordinary road outside a built-up area at 30 m. The minimum is 15 m inside a built-up area and 50 m on a тууш зам (sign 5.1 road), because approach speeds are higher there.
9Unless otherwise posted by road signs, what is the default maximum speed limit for passenger cars in built-up areas (суурин газарт) across Mongolia?
A.40 km/h
B.50 km/h
C.60 km/h

About the Mongolia Driving Theory Test Exam

The Mongolia Driving Licence Theory Test (Жолоодох эрхийн онолын шалгалт) is run by the National Police Agency under the Law on Road Traffic Safety and the 2019 examination procedure. Candidates answer 20 general-knowledge questions in 20 minutes and must get at least 18 right (90%) before taking the practical test. The test covers the Law on Road Traffic Safety, the Road Traffic Rules (Government Resolution No. 239 of 2018, amended in 2025), safe-driving theory and first aid for crash casualties. It is also the test that holders of licences from non-Vienna Convention countries take to convert their licence. This is independent practice by OpenExamPrep: an English-language MCQ study adaptation of the Mongolian-language test, not an official translation or the official question pool.

Exam sponsor: National Police Agency of Mongolia (Цагдаагийн ерөнхий газар): licensing and examination units in Ulaanbaatar and the aimags. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

The theory test is the first stage of the Mongolian driving-licence examination and must be passed before the practical test (Law on Road Traffic Safety, Article 14¹.8). The practical test is taken in real traffic for Category B and on a training ground for A, C, D, E and M. The theory test covers four subjects: the Law on Road Traffic Safety, the Road Traffic Rules, safe-driving theory, and first aid for road-crash casualties. It is taken electronically or on paper; for each question the candidate picks one answer from the options given, and 90% or more correct (18 of 20) is a pass. The test is set in Mongolian. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation: text-only, four-option questions, not an official translation, not the official question pool, and no preparation for the practical driving test.

Mongolia Driving Theory Test: Suggested Study Strategy

1Learn the Mongolian sign numbers rather than Russian or European ones: 3.1 is «Гол зам» (Main Road), 3.4 «Зам тавьж өгнө» (Give Way), 3.5 the red «ЗОГС» octagon, and 2.1 «Орох хориотой» (No Entry).
2Memorise the Rule 12.4 limits (60 km/h built-up, 80 km/h outside, 100 km/h on a тууш зам) and the Rule 12.5 exceptions: 20 km/h in residential areas and school zones, 40 km/h when towing.
3Know the stopping-ban distances in Rule 14.8: 5 m before a pedestrian crossing, 20 m from an intersection, 10 m from an exit, and 20 m from a railway crossing. Parking is banned within 100 m of a railway crossing.
4Place the warning triangle at least 15 m back in a built-up area, 30 m outside one and 50 m on a тууш зам (Rule 9.5).
5Practise priority: give way to the right at equal roads, to oncoming straight and right-turning traffic when turning left, and to all main-road traffic at sign 3.4.
6Study the Appendix 4 defects list, including tread limits (1.6 mm cars, 2.0 mm buses, 1.0 mm heavy trucks, 0.8 mm motorcycles) and the brake, steering and lighting faults that stop a journey.
7With a 90% pass mark you can miss only two questions, so time your practice at 20 questions in 20 minutes.
8This English bank is independent study practice; the real test is in Mongolian, so learn the key Mongolian terms (тууш зам, түр зогсолт, удаан зогсолт, зам тавьж өгөх) as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format and pass mark of the Mongolia driving theory test?

The general-knowledge theory test has 20 questions and a 20-minute time limit. It is taken electronically or on paper, and for each question the candidate picks one answer from the options given. A pass needs 90% or more, which is at least 18 of 20. Drivers adding Category C or D take a separate 10-question supplementary test in 10 minutes (Law on Road Traffic Safety, Article 14¹.3).

What happens if I fail, and how long does a pass last?

You may retake the test after at least 7 days. The theory test must be passed before the practical test, and a theory pass lapses if you do not pass the practical test within 6 months (Law on Road Traffic Safety, Articles 14¹.8–14¹.10).

How much does it cost?

The National Police Agency publishes no separate fee for the theory test. The licence costs 12,500 MNT, paid to the Agency's licence revenue account at the State Treasury Bank. Driving-school fees are set by each school. A police draft procedure published in June 2026 proposes introducing an examination fee, but no amount had been set.

What are the default speed limits in Mongolia?

Under Rule 12.4 of the Road Traffic Rules, the limit is 60 km/h in built-up areas, 80 km/h outside them and 100 km/h on a тууш зам (sign 5.1). Rule 12.5 sets lower limits: 20 km/h in residential areas and school zones, 40 km/h when towing a motor vehicle, and 50 km/h when carrying children as an organised group. Motorcycles and cars with trailers are limited to 60 km/h outside built-up areas.

Do I need the theory test to exchange a foreign driving licence?

It depends on where your licence was issued. A valid licence from a Vienna Convention country is exchanged without a test, and visitors may drive on it for one year after entry. Holders of licences from non-member countries must pass the general theory test, but not a practical test (Law on Road Traffic Safety, Articles 14¹.7 and 17.3; National Police Agency guidance).

In what language is the test, and how does this practice bank differ?

The official test is set in Mongolian. Police documents refer to translating the test for foreign-licence holders, but no current official list of available languages is published, so confirm with the licensing centre. This bank is independent English-language MCQ practice by OpenExamPrep: a study adaptation with four text-only options per question. It is not an official translation, the official question pool, or preparation for the practical driving test.
