How do I get my car driving license?

1. If possible, attend an emergency assistance course before the age of 17, but the permit is only valid for 6 years.
    
2. Fill out the application form for the learner's permit (before 17). Attach 1 photo.
    
3. Take the form to the optician's, have your eyesight and hearing tested (test not older than 12 months!)
    
4. Then present yourself in person for identification either at the residents' registration office or directly at the road traffic office and also present either your ID, passport or foreigner's identity card. Important: only originals will be accepted
    
.
5. You will then receive a registration form for the theory test from the Road Traffic Office. The theory test can be taken 1 month before the age of 17. The number of retakes if the theory test is not passed is no longer limited. Waiting period: approx. 3-5 weeks.
    
6. Theory test passed: You will receive your learner's permit on your 17th birthday.
    
7. Now you may drive when accompanied by a driving instructor or private individuals who are at least 23 years old and have held the relevant driving license for at least 3 years.
8. New from 2021: You can start at the age of 17, but must now have at least 1 year of driving experience and be at least 18 years old before you are allowed to take the driving test.
9. Before the practical test, you must now attend compulsory road safety lessons at a driving school, which last 4 evenings of 2 lessons each. (or also 2 evenings of 4 hours each)
10. Take the practical driving test

Of course, you should take a few driving lessons with a driving instructor in between. It helps. Important: Continue practising what you have learned as much as possible at home.

After passing your driving test, you must attend the WAB course (further training course) for 1 day within 1 year! Otherwise the license is no longer valid. (it is possible to make up the day with a request, only then are you allowed to drive again)
