How to convert your Foreign Driving Licence
|
If you are a holder of a foreign driving licence (outside EU) and you have been staying in Germany for more than six months or intend to do so, you´ll need to apply for a German driving licence in order to be allowed to carry on driving.
In order to get the licence you have to pass a theory test and a driving test. This means that you have to register with a driving school.
The question papers are available in English, either to purchase or study in our driving school. They are exactly the same as the ones that you get in the theoretical test. The theoretical test has to be done at the TÜV during their office hours.
The duration of the driving test is 45 minutes. The practical test takes place in the car of the driving school.

The Road to convert the Foreign Driving Licence (B)

After registering with the driving school, you must apply for the driving licence at the nearest local government office.
For this purpose you will need:

|
| 2. |
|
a sight test certificate
(from any optician or oculist) |
|
| 3. |
|
a course certificate in "life-saving emergency measures" |
|
| 4. |
|
a passport photo |
|
| 5. |
|
your passport |
|
| 6. |
|
43,40 € to 58,-€ local administration fee |
|
| If you hold a foreign licence, please take along: |
|
| 7. |
|
translation resp. acknowlegdement of driving licence (best done at ADAC) |
|
| 8. |
|
driving licence |
You can start training on the day of registration. Training finishes when the test is successfully completed at the TÜV (the authority responsible for doing the exams).
In the unlikelihood of the practical test having to be repeated, we will NOT recharge you the basic fee.
