Leistungsbeschreibung

Are you already the holder of a driving license and would like to extend it by a further driving license (class)?

In principle, the provisions of the initial issue apply to the extension of a driving license

There are exceptions for

the extension of category A1 to category A2 and the extension of category A2 to category A:
If you have previously held category A1 or category A2 for two years, you only have to take one practical test in each case (upgrade).
upgrading from category B to category BE, from category C1 to category C1E, from category D to category DE and from category D1 to category D1E:
Only one practical test needs to be taken in each case.

You must submit an application for the extension of a driving license.

You can apply for an extension of your driving license at the driving license office of the district or city of your main place of residence.

In any case, you must apply for the transfer of your driver's license in person, as your signature is required for the production of the driver's license at the Federal Printing Office.

The fee is based on the scale of fees for road traffic measures (GebOSt).

In light of the implementation of an EC directive, all driving licenses issued from January 19, 2013 will only be valid for 15 years. All driving licenses issued before January 19, 2013 will remain valid for the time being, but must be exchanged by January 19, 2033. A new driving test or health check is not planned. According to the directive, the time limit is intended to ensure that only driving license documents that meet all the requirements of the directive are in circulation from 19 January 2033.
