Tens of thousands of people in Norway might end up without a valid driving license from the New Year
Around 32,000 people have not yet renewed their large plastic driving licences. From the turn of the year, these driving licenses will no longer be valid in Norway.
“We are concerned that so many people still have not renewed their driving licence. Now, those who want to continue driving after the New Year need to take urgent action,” department director Lill Tove Amundsen in the Norwegian Road Administration noted in a recent press release.
From January 1, 2023, driving licenses that are larger than bank cards will no longer be valid. If you want to continue driving, you need to renew your driving license by the end of 2022.
People who still need to renew their driving licenses have received several SMS messages from the Norwegian Road Administration.
Remember, if you’re caught driving with an invalid driving license, you risk a fine of 5,000 kroner.
You can book an appointment to renew your driving licence here.
