Driving-licence loans - A help on the way to employment

As of September 1, 2018, as unemployed and meet certain conditions, you can borrow money from CSN to cover the cost of a B-driver license. Many employers today require that their employees has a driving license, so having a driving license makes it easier to get an empoyment.

The amount that you can borrow

At most, you can borrow 15,000 SEK. The money is made available in instalments, and each instalment is 5,000 SEK. One requirement for borrowing for driving license training is that your traffic school must be approved by the Transport Agency.

Who is eligible for the loan?

To be eligible for driving license loans, you must be unemployed and between 18 to 47 years of age. The terms are different depending on whether your are in the 18-24 years or 25-47 age range (see full terms). The loan is valid for Swedish driving license "körkortsbehörighet B", that covers passenger cars and light trucks. The government is planning that young people who are not unemployed should be included. This applies to people between the ages of 19 and 20 who have completed upper secondary education. This may be implemented in 2019.

When you apply

You apply for driving license loans in My pages at csn.se. It is possible to apply from 1 September. Once you have received the acceptance from CSN and started at a traffic school, you can request your first payment. You won't receive it automatically. The traffic school will inform CSN of its billing, and you can request new payments while the school is billing you.

The loan is to be paid back

The loan will then be repaid. CSN also charges interest on the loan amount. Usually you pay $ 300 a month. This means that if you borrow 15,000, it will take more than 4 years before the loan is repaid. Of course, you can pay back the loan faster if you want.
