Finland taxi driver exam:free practice test with English translation

Taxi driver exam questions, time and language

The exam is regulated by the Traficom regulation Taksiliikenteen kokeet, in force since 1 September 2026.

• 60 multiple-choice questions in a maximum of 45 minutes.
• Each question has only one correct answer.
• You need at least 45 correct answers and must also reach the minimum in every topic area.
• The exam is taken in Finnish or Swedish at a service point of Traficom's service provider. Interpreters and dictionaries are not allowed.
• The system checks your answers automatically and shows the result.
• A passed exam is valid for one year.

If you have dyslexia or another health reason, you can take an oral exam with 90 minutes to answer. You need a written, signed statement for this.

Topic areas and minimum scores

The exam is assessed by topic area. If you fall below the minimum in any one area, the whole exam is failed, even if you have 45 or more correct answers in total.

• Assisting passengers and ensuring their safety: 15 questions, at least 12 correct
• Special needs of different passenger groups: 15 questions, at least 12 correct
• Customer service situations in taxi services: 10 questions, at least 7 correct
• Driver rights and duties: 10 questions, at least 7 correct
• Factors affecting transport and traffic safety: 10 questions, at least 7 correct

The questions on Prøveklar follow these five areas, for example first aid, securing wheelchairs, guide dogs, price information, the taximeter, receipts and Finnish traffic rules.

Taxi driver permit requirements in Finland

The exam is only one of the requirements. According to Traficom, you must also:

• have held a category B licence for at least one year, issued in Finland or another EU/EEA country,
• not be under a driving ban,
• meet the Group 2 medical requirements, shown with a medical certificate no older than 6 months,
• have no criminal or fine record entries that prevent a permit,
• have passed the taxi driver exam.

From 1 November 2026 you can only take the exam after completing 21 hours of taxi driver training at a Traficom-approved training organisation. The training must be recorded in the transport register.

Booking the exam and exam price

• Complete the 21-hour taxi driver training first.
• Book an exam appointment in advance at a service point of Traficom's service provider, for example Ajovarma.
• Prove your identity when you register for the exam. Personal items, outdoor clothing and your phone are left outside the exam room.

According to the Ajovarma price list, the taxi driver exam costs EUR 138.00, and so does the oral exam for health reasons. The permit application costs EUR 57.00. If you cancel later than the previous business day, a 50% cancellation fee is charged.

Finnish words you must know

The questions are in Finnish, so learn the key words first:

• ajolupa – taxi driver's driving permit
• taksiliikennelupa – licence to run a taxi business
• taksamittari – taximeter
• kuitti – receipt
• esteetön – accessible
• apuväline – mobility aid
• ensiapu – first aid

Read every question to the end. Small words like “ei” (not), “aina” (always) and “vähintään” (at least) change the answer. With 45 minutes for 60 questions, you have less than one minute per question.

Practice questions in Finnish with English translation

• Free test: 10 questions, no account needed.
