Exchange a foreign driving licence

You live in Germany and have a driving licence from abroad? We help you exchange it.

Good to know

Valid for 6 months

A licence from a country outside the EU/EEA is usually valid for 6 months from when you take up residence in Germany.

The list of states decides

If your country is listed in Annex 11 FeV, the exchange is usually easier.

Otherwise: tests

Without the list of states you take the theory and practical test – but there are no compulsory lessons.

Documents (example: Bochum)

  • ID card or passport
  • Biometric passport photo
  • Your foreign driving licence
  • Translation from a recognised body
  • Registration certificate (Meldebescheinigung)

Country not in Annex 11 FeV? Then also first aid, driving school and eye test (for C/D medical examination).
