| NORGE (N) |
| 1. Models N1–N4. All Norwegian driving licences have preprinted text in ‘bokmål’ or in ‘nynorsk’. The two forms |
| of language have equal status. The words ‘førerkort’ and ‘Norge’ show that the text is in ‘bokmål’; ‘førarkort’ |
| and ‘Noreg’ indicate the form of ‘nynorsk’. |
| 2. Model N1. If the licence was valid on 2 April 1982, this model is valid until the holder’s 100th birthday, ir- |
| respective of the date of expiry recorded on the licence document. This only applies if the initial validity of |
| the document was 10 years. |
| Models N1–N4. In case the holder of such a licence is older than 70 years, he has to carry a medical certificate |
| with him. The certificate has to be renewed after one, two, three, four or five years. |
| Model N1. If any restrictive entry had been recorded on this driving licence model, the licence was exempt |
| from the regulation on lifelong validity for models valid on 2 April 1982. In case of doubts because of entries |
| on the document, the accompanying translation for the document or Norwegian issuing authorities should |
| be consulted. |
| Model N2. The stamp with the restricting text is on the reverse side of the licence. |
| Model N2. Driving licences of category B+E, which were first issued before 1 April 1979 and were subse- |
| quently exchanged for model N2, entitle the holder to drive category A1 in addition. |
| Models N2, N3. The entitlement to drive C1 (and C1E) vehicles becomes void if the holder does not exchange |
| the licence for model N4 prior to 1 January 2002. |
| Model N3. If the following entitlement is stamped on the reverse side of the driving licence: ‘Gjelder også bil |
| med tillatt totalvekt ikke over 7 500 kg og høyst 8 passasjerplasser’ (Valid for motor car with maximum au- |
| thorised weight less than 7 500 kilograms and maximum eight passenger seats), the holder is additionally |
| entitled to drive C1 vehicles. To keep this entitlement, he has to exchange his licence for model N4 prior to 1 |
| January 2002. |
| 9.Model N3. Driving licences of category BE, which were first issued before 1 April 1979, were subsequently |
| exchanged for model N3 and which bear the following stamp: |
| ‘Gjelder også for: — lett motorsykkel — bil som har tillatt totalvekt mindre enn 7 500 kg og høyst 8 passasjer- |
| plasser’ |
| entitle the holder to drive category A1 in addition. |
| Driving licences of category BE, which were obtained between 1 April 1979 and 30 September 1992, which |
| were subsequently exchanged for model N3 and which bear the following stamp: |
| ‘Gjelder også bil med tillatt totalvekt ikke over 7500 kg og høyst 8 passasjerplasser’ |
| entitle the holder to drive category A1 in addition. |
| This entitlement may only be maintained if the holder exchanges his licence for model N4 before 1 January |
| 2002. |
