The service of simplified access to documents ASAN Khidmet started to issue licenses for taxi drivers. The licenses are issued in accordance with the Presidential Decree of 31 August.

While the licenses are only issued to taxi drivers, who have been previously licensed by the Ministry of Transport.

The same presidential decree instructed the government to simplify and improve the licensing of taxi services until 19 December. And since that time the entire procedure will be carried out under the new simplified rules. -0-
