To get your driver’s license, you need to take a theoretical test, as well as a practical test. Both tests take place at Trafikverket (a govermental agency) and you can book them through our website, or at the driving academy with our help.

The theoretical test contains 70 questions about traffic rules, safety, knowledge of the car and the environment. To pass the test you’ll need to get 52/70 questions right. You can’t take the drivers test without passing the knowledge test first – so be sure to study hard for it. When you’ve passed the theoretical test, it’s valid for 6 months. Which means that you have 6 months to pass your drivers test, or you’ll have to retake the theoretical test.

The drivers test takes place at Trafikverket, where you get to present your driving skills. You’ll get to perform a safety check of the car before driving, such as checking the brakes or the tires. After the safety check, you’ll get to drive around with the examiner for a minimum of 50 minutes, in city traffic as well as on country roads. Once the test is done, you’ll be informed right away if you’ve passed or not.
