During your practice at your driving school you may take the theoretical test and finally, when you have reached the age of 18, the practical test. Both, theoretical and practical test, you take at trafikkstasjonen by Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen). You have to order for your practical test through your driving school on internet, but for the theoretical test you can just “drop in”. At www.vegvesen.no you can find out opening times at trafikkstasjonen and you can also read more about the different categories of driving licences.
