    What is the minimum age for a moped licence in Finland?

    Licence rules for mopeds.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    You can get a driving licence for a moped or a light quadricycle once you have turned 15, Traficom explains. The moped licence (AM/120) covers two- and three-wheeled mopeds with a maximum speed between 25 and 45 km/h, and it is compulsory for anyone born in or after 1985. You also need a valid driving licence permit, and Ajovarma checks it at the theory test.

    Why

    1. Traficom gives 15 as the minimum age.
    2. The AM/120 licence covers mopeds with a top speed of 25 to 45 km/h.
    3. It is compulsory for riders born in or after 1985.

    Details

    The driving licence permit is applied for in Traficom's e-service. Ajovarma, a company providing services for Traficom, runs the tests.

    Tip

    If you rent a moped, ask what licence the rental company accepts.

    What may differ

    Older riders born before 1985 may ride without the AM/120 licence, but rental companies can set their own rules.

    Common misconception

    You can ride a moped in Finland without any licence.

    What actually happens

    Riders born in or after 1985 need an AM/120 licence.
