Exchange of foreign driving licences

General provisions concerning exchange.

When foreign driving licences are exchanged for Norwegian driving licences, the ordinary provisions in this regulation apply in full unless otherwise specified in this regulation.

Exchange is not granted for categories corresponding to categories M, S or T.

The foreign driving licence must be handed in together with an application for exchange.

An exchanged driving licence from another EEA state shall be sent back to the licensing authorities in the issuing country by the Directorate of Public Roads, stating the reason for its return.

The Directorate of Public Roads may decide that an exchanged driving licence from another state can be destroyed if it is difficult to return.

On the exchange of a driving licence, the exchange shall be recorded on the Norwegian driving licence.
