Age Limits and Eligibility The Norwegian driving system is designed to create safe, predictable, and responsible drivers through a structured, multi-stage educational model. Before you can sit behind the wheel of a car for the first time, you must meet specific age requirements and complete mandatory preparatory training. This system ensures that all learners possess a fundamental understanding of traffic safety and risk before they begin practical training on public roads.

Requirements for a taxi license In order to operate a taxi business in Norway, you must hold a taxi license. This is a personal permit issued by the authorities that gives you the right to operate commercial transport by passenger car for a fee. After the rule changes in 2020, there is no longer a cap on the number of licenses in most counties, but the requirements for being awarded a license are strict and the documentation requirements are absolute. The application process is mainly handled by the county municipality where you have your business address.
