Fahrerlaubnis: Ausstellung - Internationaler Führerschein

International driving licences are required for temporary stays in a country that does not belong to the EU. The international driving licence is only a translation of the national EU driving licence and is therefore only valid in conjunction with it.

• Identity card/passport with registration certificate
• Presentation of the card driving licence
• a photograph (biometric) that complies with the provisions of the Passport Ordinance of 19 October 2007 (Federal Law Gazette I p. 2007, 2386)

• Normal residence of the applicant must be in the Federal Republic of Germany and in the area of responsibility of the issuing authority
• be at least 18 years of age
• Possession of an EU card driving licence or an EU/EEA driving licence

The fees are determined by the respective authority according to your schedule of fees.

You must submit the application in person and in writing.

The international driver's license is usually valid for 3 years.

For more information, please contact your driving licence authority.
Up-to-date information on the country in which an international driving licence is required can be obtained from the automobile clubs.

The responsibility lies with the district and the district-free city in which you have your residence.
