Briefly about the extended medical certificate for a driving license
An extended medical certificate for a driving license is a comprehensive medical assessment of a person's ability to drive. At Medfin, the certificate is issued during an in-person doctor's appointment at our medical centre in Helsinki, near the Ruoholahti metro station.
When is an extended medical certificate for a driving license required?
An extended medical certificate is required if:
- you are renewing a Group 1 driving license after the age of 70
- you are renewing a Group 2 driving license after the age of 68
- Traficom, Ajovarma or the police require a more detailed assessment of your ability to drive.
An extended medical certificate is intended for situations where a doctor needs to carry out a more comprehensive assessment of your health, functional capacity, medical conditions, medications and other factors that may affect your ability to drive safely. After the age of 70, these health assessments are carried out every five years.
If you are unsure whether you need a standard or an extended medical certificate, see our "Driving license medical certificate in Helsinki" page.
An extended medical certificate is not the same as a basic medical certificate for a driving license
This page is specifically about the extended medical certificate for a driving license.
A basic medical certificate for a driving license is sufficient in most routine situations, for example, for Group 1 drivers under the age of 70 and Group 2 drivers under the age of 68.
An extended medical certificate is required when renewing a driving license in certain age-related situations, like after the age of 68 for Group 2 driving licenses (vehicle categories C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D and DE), and after the age of 70 for Group 1 driving licenses (vehicle categories AM/120, AM/121, T, A1, A2, A, B and BE).
If you need a basic medical certificate for a driving license, please see the dedicated page.

What does the doctor assess during the appointment?
During the examination, the doctor assesses your overall health and any factors that may affect your ability to drive safely.
During the appointment, the doctor may assess your vision, hearing, blood pressure, physical and functional capacity, medical history, current medications, the impact of chronic medical conditions on your ability to drive, and any other factors relevant to safe driving.
With your consent, the doctor may also review your health records in Kanta. This helps provide a more comprehensive assessment of your health.
