From application to Category M licence — all steps to get your Swiss moped licence clearly explained.
Overview
The moped licence is much simpler than the car licence — no first aid course, no learner permit, no VKU, no probationary period.
Step 1
No first aid course required — the moped licence is simpler than the car licence.
Submit your application at the cantonal road traffic office or municipal authority.
Enclose: eye test (max. 24 months old), identity document, passport photo.
Minimum age: 14 years (exceptions possible).
Step 2 · Key hurdle
30 multiple-choice questions with 3 answer options each in 45 minutes.
At least 81 out of 90 points (90%) required to pass.
Maximum 9 error points allowed.
Test languages: German, French or Italian – in some cantons also English.
Recommendation: Before you register, ask your cantonal road traffic office directly whether English is offered for category M. Availability can vary slightly from canton to canton.
Test takes place in person at the road traffic office — not available online.
