The road to your driving licence, step by step
You need a valid learner’s permit:
- to be allowed to learn to drive, and
- to book a test with us.
This applies the first time you take your driving test, but also if you already have a driving licence and need to add a new licence category. Applications for a learner’s permit are made to the Swedish Transport Agency.
You and your instructor must attend an introductory training course before you can start practising driving privately.
You need to complete the same training, but not necessarily at the same time.
Start learning to drive and learn theory!
Learning how to drive - Transportstyrelsen
When you have completed your introductory training and your instructor has received an approved permit, you can start learning to drive. You now have the opportunity to drive with your private instructor and/or at a driving school. By all means alternate your practice with studying the theory too! This is the best way to absorb all the information.
Find out how the tests are done! It helps you feel safe and you have time to prepare.
What will happen during the theory test
What will happen during the driving test
The risk course must be completed before the theory test. You will complete the risk course at the end of your training. The course consists of two parts:
- Part 1 concerns alcohol and drugs, fatigue when driving and other high risk behaviour.
- Part 2 involves the skid pan and concerns matters such as speed, safety and driving in different road and weather conditions.
Book your test in time, take plenty of time and study hard.

When you feel that you have a good grasp of the theory, and when you can drive independently under instruction for about 45 minutes, you are ready to book an appointment to take your tests. Book your tests at the same time, but do the tests a few weeks apart. Make sure you book well in advance!
It must be valid before you will be allowed to take the driving test
Now it is time to do your theory test. You must pass this before you can take the driving test. Bring along valid ID when you come to our centre to do your theory test!
Your examiner will come and find you when it is time for your driving test.
You will walk together to the car. If you feel nervous and stressed, by all means say so. You can then have a bit of a chat before your test. The examiner will tell you where to head for during your driving test. You will drive in both urban and rural traffic. The driving test will continue for at least 25 minutes.
The process of getting a driving licence for passenger cars can be divided into various steps. Watch the video in order to understand what each step involves.
Tips for getting a driving licence
-
Book your tests well in advance, this will give you more chance of finding the test times you want.
-
Book your theory test and driving test at the same time, but take them a few weeks apart. This will give you time to take another theory test before the driving test, if you need to.
-
It is important for you and your instructor to plan so that you are ready to take the tests on the dates for which they are booked. By all means carry out training checks as you work through your course!
-
Test times may come up at short notice as cancellations often occur.
-
Take plenty of time and practise properly. This increases your chances of passing at the first attempt and will save you time and money.
We will not tolerate cheating
Before starting the theory test, you must promise that you will take it without using any unauthorised tools or attempting to cheat in any other way.
This is what will happen if you cheat:
- You will be reported to the police for making a false statement.
- You will be banned from taking your test for one or two years. Your test will be discontinued and declared null and void. If you have another test booked, that test will be cancelled. You will not be able to book more tests yourself.
Mobile phones must be completely switched off in the test hall!
