Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about watches, BankID, Pro and notifications.
How does Förarprov Watch work?
You create a watch with your licence type, test type, test locations and date range. We then automatically search Trafikverket for free slots and alert you the moment one matches. You don't search yourself — the app watches for you.
Why is there no search button?
The app does no live searching. You create a watch and we watch Trafikverket automatically in the background for you. It's gentler on Trafikverket and it's the whole point of the app.
Can I use Förarprov Watch on the web?
Watches are created and managed in the iOS and Android app, because the Trafikverket connection is made with BankID inside the app. This website describes the service, lists test locations and statistics, and sends you to the right app store.
How do I connect my Trafikverket account?
Tap "Get personal data" and log in with BankID. When login completes the app closes the view automatically and drops you on the Watch tab with a green "Connected" marker. We use your session only to search and reserve slots for you.
What does it mean that a watch "ends"?
A watch is one-shot: as soon as it finds (and, for Pro, reserves) a matching slot it ends. To keep watching you create a new watch — which runs "Get personal data" again so the search always uses a fresh session.
What is auto-reserve?
With Pro the app automatically reserves a matching slot the moment it appears and holds it for ~15 minutes. You get an alert — tap it and Trafikverket opens logged in, with the slot reserved and ready to pay.
Do I have to finish the booking myself?
Yes. We hold the slot, but you log in and pay on Trafikverket ("Open Trafikverket & pay"). The slot isn't yours until it's paid. Once paid it shows as "Booked ✓" — either automatically or via the "Mark as booked" button.
Why can't I create a watch for a certain licence?
If Trafikverket says your conditions don't allow booking that licence (e.g. no valid driving permit), the form is blocked and you can't create the watch. Contact Trafikverket/Transportstyrelsen if you think that's wrong.
My connection expired — what do I do?
Your Trafikverket session expires after a while of inactivity. Just run "Get personal data" again and log in with BankID. Your watches and settings stay.
Do I lose my data if I reinstall or change phones?
No. Your watches, history, Pro subscription and SMS number are tied to your personnummer via BankID. Just log in with BankID on the new device and everything follows — no account, password or email needed.
Which notifications do I get?
Push notifications (on by default). Pro users also get email and SMS when a slot is found or reserved. Your full history is saved under Account → Notifications. Your SMS number is saved and reused automatically.
What's the difference between free and Pro?
Free: watch and get alerts, date range up to 1 month (with ads). Pro: no ads, auto-reserve, SMS and email alerts, date range up to 3 months, two simultaneous watches, and priority, faster watching.
What does Pro cost?
Pro is an auto-renewing subscription you can cancel anytime in the App Store / Google Play. The current price is shown in the app before you buy.
Is Förarprov Watch part of Trafikverket?
No. Förarprov Watch is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Trafikverket. You always complete and pay for your booking yourself on Trafikverket.
How do I delete my account?
Under Account → Delete account. It permanently removes your account, your watches and your Trafikverket connection.
