How long it is valid
term years: 8. note: 26. gr. gives the right an EIGHT-year term. Reglugerð 1231/2007 (3 December 2007) added an age restriction on renewal, "nema umsækjandi sé orðinn 65 ára", and the statutory hook, umferðarlög 50/1987 64. gr. a, set the fee at 25,000 kr. That provision is now 73. gr. of umferðarlög 77/2019.
