As an owner of a swiss driving license, based on the law (OAC, Ordonnance réglant l’admission à la circulation routière) the local authority (Service Cantonal des Véhicules) will ask you for a legal testing of your ability to drive with an approved physician.

This concerns mainly:

• getting a driving license for a learning driver
• getting a driving license for a new professionnel category
• validating a foreign country’s driving licence
• routine testing of persons above 75 years old
• routine testing of professional drivers

On the day of your testing, please bring the following with you:

• convocation of the Service Cantonal des Véhicules
• your driving license
• the list of your medications
• your glasses if needed for driving (far vision)

Please note that this medical testing is not covered by any health insurance, as it is a legal obligation. You will be charged for this testing on the day of the examination.
