Norwegian driving licenses issued before 19 January 2013 will have to be replaced. The dates when these documents expire are already known. It is worth taking care of it in advance, because offices have 5 working days to issue a new driving license. Additionally, persons over 75 years of age are required to provide a medical certificate confirming their health condition.
Norwegian driving license must be replaced
The Norwegian authorities have issued a new law that requires us to check when we received our Norwegian driving license. According to the new regulations, all documents issued before January 19, 2013 will require us to present to the office with an application for a new license. However, different deadlines apply depending on the exact date of issue.

Applicable time limits
If you received such a document before April 1, 1979, you have the time to change it until January 1, 2020. In turn, a driving license issued in the period from April 1, 1979 to December 31, 1997 must be replaced before January 1, 2023. Drivers who obtained their licenses after January 1, 1998, but before January 18, 2013, have the most time - the validity date of these documents expires on January 1, 2033.

It is worth remembering about the applicable deadlines. Due to the new regulations, the expiry of the driving license means the loss of driving rights. The new regulations bring about one more significant change - from January 19, 2033, all European driving licenses used in Norway must comply with the new models of these documents, approved by the European Union. Otherwise, they will not be recognized by the Norwegian road safety services and authorities.

Foreign driving license in Norway
It is worth remembering that the Polish driving license is honored in Norway due to the fact that our country belongs to the European Union. In this case, the Polish regulations governing the validity of these documents are in force. Thus, the new provisions referred to above will not apply to us. However, it is worth checking the expiry date on our documents, because not all of them have been issued indefinitely.
