Reissuance following revocation/waiver
With regard to the reissuance of a driver's license, the driver's license authority will generally send you the necessary application documents in a timely manner and inform you of the formalities and requirements for reissuance.
If, due to the short suspension periods, it is not possible to provide such information, or if you have not received a notification 3–4 months before the suspension period expires, please contact the Driver’s License Authority at 0661 6006-1130, -1131, or -1132.
The costs are based on the Road Traffic Fee Schedule (GebOST) and are determined on a case-by-case basis.
Legal Basis
Driver's License Regulation (FeV), Road Traffic Act (StVG), Road Traffic Fee Schedule (GebOST)
Special Note
If you have a criminal record and/or a traffic violation on your record—for example, for driving without a license—you will also be required to submit a current certificate of good conduct (no older than 3 months). In addition, an assessment will be conducted to determine whether there are any grounds for concern regarding your fitness to drive. In such cases, you may be required to submit a medical-psychological evaluation.
If you suffer from a medical condition that impairs your ability to drive, this may also raise concerns regarding your fitness to drive. These concerns may need to be addressed by submitting the required medical evaluations. In some cases, you may also be required to provide proof of your theoretical and practical driving skills.
