Getting Your German Driver’s License

Upon arriving in Germany, you are allowed to drive with your foreign license for six months. After this period, you must convert your license to a German one to continue driving legally. Since the conversion process can take 6-8 weeks, it’s advisable to start early. Here’s a quick guide on what you need to do:

Driving License Conversion Process

Choosing Your Vehicle: You can choose between a manual transmission or an automatic transmission (automatic gearbox). We offer great cars for your lessons.

For EU Licenses: If your license is from another EU country, you can legally drive in Germany without any further steps. However, if you prefer, you can directly transfer your license without attending a driving school.

For Licenses from Countries Listed in Anlage 11 of FeV (Fahrerlaubnisverordnung):

  • A translation of your license
  • A copy of your original license
  • A passport photo (35mm x 45mm)
  • Your passport including the German „Aufenthaltstitel“ (residence permit), a copy is acceptable
  • Proof of residence in Germany (Einwohnermeldebestätigung from the Einwohnermeldeamt or Bürgerbüro) Note: You do not need an eye test or a first aid certificate.

For Licenses from Countries Not Listed in Anlage 11 of FeV (Fahrerlaubnisverordnung):

  • A translation of your license
  • A copy of your original license
  • An eye test (not older than two years)
  • A passport photo (35mm x 45mm)
  • A first aid course certificate
  • Your passport including the German „Aufenthaltstitel“ (residence permit), a copy is acceptable
