Since August 2021, the local knowledge examination has been abolished and replaced by the so-called small specialist knowledge as part of the amendment to the Passenger Transport Act. The small specialist knowledge is to apply to taxi drivers as well as to "hired car and bundled demand transport of the different forms of transport in occasional transport". At present, however, proof of specialist knowledge does not have to be presented for the issue of a driving licence for passenger transport.

However, when renewing a driving licence for passenger transport for the first time, which was issued after 2 August 2021 without submitting proof of specialist knowledge, proof of specialist knowledge must also be submitted in addition to the other renewal requirements.
