The driving-licence system in Sweden
Which authorities share responsibility for Swedish driving licences?
The Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) handles permits, licence issue, renewals and withdrawals, while the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) conducts theory and practical tests.
Is a Swedish driving licence valid throughout Sweden?
Yes. A valid Swedish licence is recognised nationwide, subject to its categories, conditions and current legal status.
Is a Swedish licence recognised elsewhere in Europe?
Yes. A valid Swedish EU-format licence is generally recognised throughout the EU and EEA.
Can one person hold two EEA driving licences?
No. EEA rules generally permit only one valid EEA driving licence at a time.
Can the Swedish licence be used as identification?
Yes. A valid Swedish driving licence is an accepted identity document in Sweden.
Where are theory and practical tests taken?
At Trafikverket driver-testing offices.
Can examinations be booked online?
Yes. Trafikverket provides an online booking and payment service.
Can several categories appear on one licence?
Yes. All active categories and numerical restriction codes are recorded on the same licence.
Can the licence be restricted to automatic transmission?
Yes. Code 78 limits the holder to vehicles without a manual clutch.
Do driving-school prices differ?
Yes. Government examination and production fees are nationally set, while tuition and lesson prices vary.
Minimum ages and the learner’s permit
What is the minimum age for category B?
The minimum age is 18 years.
When can category B learner driving begin?
Normally from age 16.
What is the minimum age for category AM?

The minimum age is 16 years.
What is the minimum age for category A2?
The minimum age is 18 years.
What is the ordinary minimum age for category A?
Normally 24 years, or 20 after holding A2 for at least two years.
What is a learner’s permit?
It is the Transport Agency decision confirming that the applicant is personally and medically suitable to learn and test for the requested category.
Is a learner’s permit required before practice begins?
Yes.
How long is the learner’s permit valid?
Five years.
Can that five-year period be extended?
No. A new application is required when it expires.
Must the applicant normally reside in Sweden?
Yes, or have studied in Sweden for at least six months.
Can criminal or sobriety concerns cause refusal or revocation?

Medical fitness, eyesight and disability

An applicant for AM, A1, A2, A, B or BE submits a health declaration and eyesight certificate.
What is required for higher categories?
A medical certificate is required for C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D and DE.
Can glasses or contact lenses be required?
Yes. A numerical restriction code is recorded when corrective lenses must be used.

Does disability automatically prevent licensing?
No. Fitness is assessed individually and an adapted vehicle can be used for training and testing.
Can the Transport Agency require later medical certificates?

Can medical fitness shorten licence validity?
Yes.
Can illness lead to licence withdrawal?
Yes. A licence can be withdrawn when a disease or medical condition makes driving unsafe.

What is the aggravated drink-driving threshold?
Normally 0.50 mg/L in exhaled air or about 1.0‰ in blood, although dangerous impairment can also qualify.
Does Sweden use a national demerit-point system?
No. Licence action is based on offences, suitability and individual assessment rather than a fixed points total.
What happens when a category B licence is revoked during probation?
The driver must normally obtain a new learner’s permit and pass both theory and practical tests again.
Must the risk course also be repeated after revocation?
Yes.
How long can a withdrawal blocking period last?
Normally from one month to three years, depending on the case.
