• If you are at least 18 years old and you have a category A1 driving licence which is obtained at least two years earlier, you may upgrade your A1 driving licence to a A2 driving licence.
• There are two options if you want to upgrade your driving license to A2:
  1) Through driving instruction (7 hours, comprising 2 hours of theory instruction and 5 hours of
  driving instruction). The driving school will give you a certificate of the received driving instruction,
  which should be delivered to the Ajovarma service point together with your driving licence permit
  application (in this case you can not apply for a driving licence permit using Traficom’s e-Service).
  Instruction may not be given with a driving instruction permit.
  2) By taking a category A2 handling test and driving test. For this, you must apply for a driving licence
  permit at Traficom's service provider Ajovarma’s office (in this case you can not apply for a driving
  licence permit using Traficom’s e-Service).
• If you wish to obtain a category A2 driving licence before having 2 years of driving experience, you
  must take a driving examination (a theory test, handling test and driving test). Also in this case, the
  minimum age of 18 applies.
• If you have a category A1 driving licence and you would like to upgrade it directly to a category A driving licence, you must take a driving examination (a theory test, handling test and driving test). In this case, the minimum age is 24.

• If you are at least 20 years old and you have a category A2 driving licence which is obtained at least
  two years earlier, you may upgrade your A2 driving licence to a A driving licence.
  There are two options if you want to upgrade your driving license to A2:
  1) Through driving instruction (7 hours, comprising 2 hours of theory instruction and 5 hours of
  driving instruction). The driving school will give you a certificate of the received driving instruction,
  which should be delivered to the Ajovarma service point together with your driving licence permit
  application (in this case you can not apply for a driving licence permit using Traficom’s e-Service).
  Instruction may not be given with a driving instruction permit.
  2) Taking a category A handling test and driving test. For this, you must apply for a driving licence
  permit at Traficom’s service provider Ajovarma’s office (in this case you can not apply for a driving
  licence permit using Traficom’s e-Service).
• You may also obtain a category A driving licence without having a separate driving experience by
  taking a driving examination (a theory test, handling test and driving test). In this case, the minimum age is 24. In this situation you can apply for a driving licence permit using Traficom’s e-Service or at Traficom’s service provider Ajovarma’s office.
