Medical Certificate for a Driver’s License

To obtain a driver’s medical certificate, you must attend an in-person appointment

The doctor will review your medical history, assess your current condition, and evaluate whether any chronic illnesses may affect your ability to drive. This assessment cannot be performed remotely. Our clinic is conveniently located in Helsinki, right next to the Ruoholahti metro station.

Fill in the preliminary information form before your appointment

You can review the preliminary information form and fill it in before your visit:

If you wear glasses, bring them with you to the appointment. If you use contact lenses, also bring a container for them, as vision tests are always conducted without lenses.

You must personally submit the medical certificate to Traficom

We do not send medical certificates electronically to Traficom or the police. You must submit them yourself in paper form.

You must provide the medical certificate to the police if it concerns a scheduled health monitoring check for a driver.

When is a medical certificate required?

If you have vision disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, insomnia or sleep apnea, neurological or mental health conditions, dizziness, alcohol or drug dependence, or musculoskeletal disorders, you are required to provide a medical certificate.

If you do not have any of these conditions and you are under 70 years old, a self-declaration confirming that you meet the medical requirements for safe driving may be sufficient when applying for a Group 1 driving license.

For drivers aged 70 and older, a medical certificate is always required. A medical certificate is also always required when applying for Group 2 driving license categories.

Group 1 (AM/120, AM/121, T, A1, A2, A, B, BE)

Group 2 (C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D, DE)
