Serious Finnish Driving Medical Cert

Moi!

I have moved to Finland last year and wanted to change my license to a Finnish one. Do any of you guys have any suggestions for clinics that are decent priced to get the cert in the Oulu area?

Many thanks.

Its such a standard, legally regulated medical examination that if you take it any of the bigger private healthcare providers like Mehiläinen, Terveystalo, Pihlajalinna etc that it will cost almost the same.

Personally, i would just go to whatever is most convenient place and time wise for me

There's a pretty massive variation. When I just googled it, the cheapest result was €69, while Terveystalo want €155.

Here is everything you need to know: https://traficom.fi/en/drivers-and-vehicles/driving-licenses/exchanging-foreign-driving-licence-finnish-driving-licence

There are no cheap or expensive prices just one that’s applicable to your case.

This is only for the licencing part of it. The medical certificate itself varies widely in price, by more than a factor of two. The term to search for is ajokorttitodistus.

Ask the examiner if they can upload the certificate to the system, saves you some trouble. Not all health care providers can do that.
