When you need to take a test

When you need to take a theory test or practical driving test to get your driving licence back, you must apply for reinstatement on Your page.
If a licence is revoked for health reasons

If your driving licence was revoked because of your health, it will not be reinstated until you have submitted a health certificate to the police.
Do you wish to upgrade your licence?

When you upgrade your driving licence, your driving entitlements for categories that are lower than the new category will be reinstated on your licence.
If you hold a foreign driving licence

If you live in Norway, your foreign driving licence will not be returned to you. You can get back your driving entitlements by getting a Norwegian licence.
