What to bring, which identity documents are accepted, and what happens if you arrive late or cancel too close to the test.
The test fee is payable whether or not you actually sit the test, as long as the cancellation is made later than 24 hours before the appointment, or if an obstacle to the test arises that is down to you – the exception is if you can show that your absence was caused by illness or a similar circumstance. So do not book the test until you consistently clear practice tests with a comfortable margin above the pass mark (48 out of 65 and 34 out of 46 correct respectively).
You must be able to prove your identity with an acceptable identity document. Under TSFS 2021:119 the following are valid: a SIS-marked company card, service card or identity card, a Swedish national identity card, a national identity card issued by another EU country from 2 August 2021 onwards, an identity card issued by the Swedish Tax Agency, a Swedish driving licence, an EU passport, and passports issued by the United Kingdom, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or the Faroe Islands. Documents showing signs of tampering, or where the photograph no longer resembles you, are not accepted.
If any of the following happens you will not be allowed to sit the test, and you will receive a written decision about it: you do not arrive on time, you cannot identify yourself, you have not signed the declaration about not cheating, you use unauthorised aids, you have not put away your mobile phone and personal belongings, or you behave in a threatening or disruptive way towards the invigilator. So arrive in good time, bring the right identification and switch off your phone before the test starts.
All the aids you are allowed to use are provided in the test room – you may not bring your own notes, calculator or similar. The result is reported electronically by Trafikverket to Transportstyrelsen. Remember the six-month rule: the clock starts from the first part you pass, so plan the second part in good time.
