Explanation: The current Article 13.4 asks for the sworn form, a minimum age of 18, a sworn statement about not being judicially deprived of the right to drive, a health certificate, the knowledge exam, the skills exam and the fee. It has no schooling requirement. Some items in the MTC balotario still mention 'primaria completa', which comes from older rules.

9How long is a Clase B Categoría II-b licence valid under Article 18-A.3 of D.S. N° 007-2016-MTC?

D.5 years for all Class B categories
Explanation: Article 18-A.3 gives all Class B categories (I, II-a, II-b and II-c) a fixed validity of five years. The scales linked to the driver's record apply to Class A: 10/8/5 years for A-I and 5/4/3 years for the professional categories.
10Some MTC balotario items say a licence revalidation may be requested only within 60 days before the expiry date. What does Article 19-A.1 of D.S. N° 007-2016-MTC, as amended in 2019, say?
A.Only within 15 days before expiry; a late request leads to the licence being cancelled

C.Only after expiry, and the holder may keep riding for up to 60 days while it is processed
D.Only within the 60 days before expiry, exactly as the older balotario item states
Explanation: D.S. N° 020-2019-MTC replaced Article 19 with Article 19-A. Under 19-A.1, the revalidation request may be filed at any time while the licence is valid or after it has expired, and the new licence runs from its date of issue. Driving with an expired licence remains prohibited.

About the MTC Brevete B-IIa/B-IIb Exam

Peru's Class B-IIa licence covers L1 and L2 vehicles (mopeds up to 50 cm³ and 50 km/h). B-IIb covers L3 motorcycles and L4 motorcycles with sidecars, plus the B-IIa vehicles. Both are obtained by direct grant from age 18 through a provincial municipality, after a health certificate, the knowledge exam and a closed-circuit skills exam, and both are valid for 5 years. The knowledge exam draws 40 general questions from a balotario shared by both categories. This bank focuses on what is specific to riders: L-category RNV rules, the 2025 helmet and vest rules, motorcycle traffic articles, inspection and eco-riding. The official exam is in Spanish. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or simulation, and keeps Peruvian legal terms in Spanish.
