Booking in canton Schwyz: yellow sheet, online slot, two offices

First application, then the yellow A5 sheet

For a first learner-permit application you appear in person at the municipal residents’ office or the road traffic office. After the file is checked, the admission permit arrives by post as a yellow A5 sheet. Use the person number on it to book the theory test online — not by phone. Anyone who already holds A1, A, B1 or B does not sit basic theory again.

Two exam sites: Schwyz 3rd floor, Pfäffikon ground floor

Exams run on tablets, no prior tablet skill needed. Sites: road traffic office Schwyz, Schlagstrasse 82, 6430 Schwyz (3rd floor) and Pfäffikon, Gwattstrasse 3, 8808 Pfäffikon (ground floor). Counter hours at both: Mon–Thu 07:30–11:30 and 13:00–17:00, Fri 07:30–16:00 continuously. Earliest one month before the category minimum age.

What to bring, languages, learner permit by post

On the day: official photo ID and the yellow admission sheet. Languages: German, French, Italian; car/motorcycle basic theory also in English. After a pass the learner permit is posted — you cannot collect it at the counter.

Use the wait for exam-style questions

The yellow sheet arrives only after the application is checked. In that window practise right of way, speed and signs in exam form — not only the week before the slot. Neighbouring eastern canton without an online slot: St. Gallen (open door).
