Körstatus

Körstatus is a Swedish term used to describe the current status of an individual's driving privileges as recorded by the Swedish licensing authorities. It indicates whether the person is legally allowed to drive a motor vehicle and any conditions attached to their license.

A typical körstatus can be categorized as valid, suspended, revoked, or restricted due to medical conditions, age, or required testing. It may also reflect probationary periods or ongoing monitoring.

Usage

It is used by individuals, employers, insurers, and authorities to determine driving eligibility. Employers may request a körstatus check with consent; insurers may consider it when underwriting.

Management and access

The information is held by the licensing authority (Transportstyrelsen) and protected by privacy laws. Individuals can view their own körstatus through official channels, such as the Transportstyrelsen online services (Mina sidor). They may need to present documentation of their status in certain contexts.

Changes

A körstatus can change due to traffic violations causing suspension or revocation, medical or vision requirements, completion of conditions, or legal decisions. Reinstatement requires meeting conditions such as penalties, tests, or medical clearance.
