Convert Your License in Sweden

A step-by-step guide to exchanging your foreign driving license for a Swedish one

February 5, 2026·5 min read
As an expat in Sweden, navigating the roads can be challenging, especially if you're not familiar with the local driving laws and regulations. If you have a foreign driving license, you may be wondering how to convert it to a Swedish driving license. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of license conversion, including the requirements, steps, and tips to help you get behind the wheel in no time. Whether you're from the EU or outside the EU, we've got you covered.
1

Eligibility for License Conversion

To convert your foreign driving license to a Swedish driving license, you'll need to meet certain eligibility criteria. If you're from an EU or EEA country, you can exchange your license without having to take a test. However, if you're from outside the EU or EEA, you may need to take a theory and driving test. Additionally, your foreign license must be valid and not suspended or revoked. You can check with the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) to see if your license is eligible for conversion.

Required Documents for License Conversion

To apply for a Swedish driving license, you'll need to gather the following documents: a valid passport, a copy of your foreign driving license, proof of residence in Sweden, and proof of identity. You may also need to provide a translation of your foreign license if it's not in Swedish or English. Make sure to check with Trafikverket for the most up-to-date list of required documents.

Next, you'll need to submit your application and supporting documents to Trafikverket. If your license is eligible for conversion, you'll be issued a Swedish driving license. If you need to take a test, you'll be scheduled for a theory and driving test.

Tips for a Smooth License Conversion Process

To ensure a smooth license conversion process, make sure to apply well in advance of your license expiration date. You should also familiarize yourself with Swedish driving laws and regulations, such as the requirement to drive on the right side of the road and the use of headlights 24/7 year-round. Additionally, consider taking a driving course or practice test to help you prepare for the theory and driving test, if required.
5

Maintaining Your Swedish Driving License

Once you've converted your foreign driving license to a Swedish driving license, you'll need to maintain it by following Swedish driving laws and regulations. This includes renewing your license every 10 years, reporting any changes to your address or personal details, and complying with traffic rules and regulations. You should also be aware of the zero tolerance policy for mobile phones while driving and the strict alcohol limit of 0.2‰.

💡 Pro Tip: Practice Driving in Sweden

Before taking the driving test, consider practicing driving in Sweden to get familiar with the local roads and driving conditions. You can practice driving with a licensed driver or take a driving course to help you prepare. This will not only help you feel more confident behind the wheel but also reduce the risk of accidents and improve your chances of passing the test.
