If you no longer want or are unable to drive, you can give up your driving licence. This page provides instructions for giving up a driving licence.
If you want to give up only some of the driving licence categories (lorries and buses) but keep your driving licence for passenger cars, for example, the instructions on this page do not apply. Instead, you must follow the instructions for downgrading your right to drive.
Do the following
Book an appointment at an Ajovarma service point
You can give up your driving licence by visiting an Ajovarma service point in person. If necessary, you can authorise another person to act on your behalf with a power of attorney.
Power of attorney for permit services in road transport (in Finnish and Swedish)
Bring your driving licence
Bring your driving licence with you when visiting the service point.
Fill in the notification of cancellation of right to drive
You can receive the notification form from the service point.
Alternatively, you can print and fill out the form in advance. The notification cannot be sent by post but must be delivered in person to a service point.
Hand over your driving licence to Ajovarma
Hand over your driving licence to Ajovarma when submitting the cancellation notification.
Your right to drive expires as soon as you submit the notification.
