Умови залежно від громадянства
Громадяни ЄС/ЄЕЗ
EU / EEA licences can be exchanged for a Norwegian one without any tests (source: vegvesen.no — "Exchanging a driving licence from an EU/EEA country"). Before becoming resident you can drive on the licence for up to 3 months in Norway.
Громадяни США/Великої Британії
UK / Northern Ireland: exchange without tests under the same rules as EEA licences, explicitly covered in the vegvesen.no UK canje page ("The rules are the same as for driving licences from EEA countries"). USA: exchange requires passing the Norwegian theory and practical tests (no full driver-training course).
Інші громадяни країн поза ЄС
Norway uses a tiered system per vegvesen.no: (a) UK, Switzerland and Japan exchange under the same rules as EEA — no tests; (b) Australia, Canada, Israel, Monaco, New Zealand, San Marino, South Korea and USA exchange with the Norwegian theory and practical tests; (c) any other country must take the full Norwegian driver-training programme.

Угоди немає (потрібен повний іспит): Any country not on the EEA-rules list or the theory+practical list must complete the full Norwegian driver-training programme (trafikalt grunnkurs, mørkekjøring, glattkjøring, klasseopplæring) plus all tests.
Поради для експатів у країні Норвегія
- The Category B theory exam in Norway is offered in English as well as Norwegian, Sami, Sorani, Arabic and Turkish — contrary to the folk belief that the test is Norwegian-only.
- UK and Swiss licences exchange under EEA rules — no theory exam, no practical test, no mandatory Norwegian driver-training course.
- Japanese licences also exchange without tests for Category B.
- US, Canadian, Australian, Korean, NZ, Israeli, Monegasque and San Marino holders exchange with the Norwegian theory + practical exam, but skip the full trafikalt-grunnkurs / mørkekjøring / glattkjøring training.
- Countries outside both lists face the full Norwegian driver-training programme (mandatory dark-driving and slippery-road courses) — one of the most thorough in Europe.

Справжня історія людини, яка отримала права як іноземець
«I find the service invaluable. It helped me immensely and I am impressed by the format and content. First class!»I have now passed my driving theory test. The course and information was great and very helpful. The reason I had to take the test is because I am living in Chile which does not recognise the driver licence of my mother country.
