Book an appointment for a theory test
You take the theory test at a Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office (trafikkstasjon). Before you can take it, you need to apply for a driving licence.
Before you can take the theory test
First you need to apply for a driving licence on Your Page. After you have been informed that your application has been registered and approved, you can book a session for the theory test.
You can take the theory test at the earliest 6 months before you meet the age requirement for the category for which you are getting a driving licence.
Taking the theory test
When you arrive at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office, you will have to
- present valid proof of identity
- take a photo for your driving licence in a photo booth
- pay for the photo and theory test – see our fees
You will be sitting in a room with others, answering the questions on a computer.
Do you have special needs?
You can have the questions read aloud in Norwegian using audio support. Ask for headphones at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office. You may request extra time to complete the test if you find that you need it. Ask the testing officer about this before time runs out.
If you have other needs beyond these, you can apply for an assisted theory test for special-needs candidates. This may include assistance in understanding the questions, the use of an interpreter or other special needs.
Information only applicable to the theory tests for mopeds and snowmobiles
For moped categories (AM 146 and AM 147) and snowmobiles (S), the theory test is the final test.
The following must be in place before you take the theory test
- You must have completed all training, and it must be registered with us.
- The police must have approved your conduct history.
- You must be at least 16 years old.
Log in to see if your conduct has been approved, under “Status for your applications” on Your Page.
You must bring an eyesight certificate or health certificate in the following cases:
- If you answered ‘Yes’ to questions 1 and/or 2 about eyesight and health, you must bring an eyesight certificate from a government-approved optometrist or ophthalmologist (eye specialist).
- If you answered ‘Yes’ to any questions between 3 and 17 about vision and health, you must bring a health certificate from a doctor.
You must have normal residence in Norway
To obtain a driving licence in Norway, you need to be registered as a resident here in the National Population Register. If you have reported yourself as moved from Norway or you have a D number, you will usually not get a driving licence. If you still believe that you have normal residence in Norway, for example because you are studying in another EEA country, you need to document this.
