Transport document language

Azerbaijani (national official language); Russian accepted in practice as one of the three ADR authentic languages (alongside English and French) per ADR 5.4.1.4.1.

DGSA exam

Not confirmed. ADR 1.8.3 DGSA requirements apply as Azerbaijan is an ADR Contracting Party. Competent authority for certificates is likely the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport (mincom.gov.az) or AYNA, but no dedicated exam body has been identified in publicly available sources.
