Norwegian driving licences (Bokmål: Førerkort, Nynorsk: Førarkort) adhere to a standard set in the European Economic Area.

People who are over 80 years old or having a licence for heavy vehicles must get a health certificate to be able to renew.

Students over 25 years of age are exempt from most parts of the basic traffic course, and therefore they can begin practise driving without taking the class.

For example, when the student is 16 years old, they can begin driving training for category B after they completed the class.

During practise driving, an L-plate must be affixed behind the car, or on the back of the reflective vest for motorcycles and mopeds.

However, if practise driving is being done by licensed instructor, the L-plate is replaced by the black text "Skole" ("School") on white background.

If eight points or more is issued during a three-year period, the driving licence is temporarily suspended, usually for six months.

[13] On 1 October 2019, Norway became the first country in Europe to introduce a digital driving licence.

The applicant must verify their identity with BankID upon logging in on the app for the first time, which will then retrieve information from the national database for driving licences.

Upon a traffic stop by the police or coming in contact with the Public Roads Administration, the digital driving licence is valid as a proof of identification.

Although the driving licence contains a QR code which can be scanned by either government authorities, commercial establishments or even private persons to verify the details, it is not considered as a proof of identification in most places.

[14] In Norway it is not unusual to end up paying 25,000 to 30,000 NOK (≈4,000 USD as of December 2014 [15]) for a driving licence.
