Anyone who has acquired a driving license outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) can only drive in Germany for a limited period of time. The foreign driving license must be converted into a German driving license no later than six months after the official registration of residence in Germany.
If this period is exceeded, the foreign driving license loses its validity in Germany. This means that you are no longer legally entitled to drive here with this document. If you wish to continue driving a vehicle in Germany after this six-month period has expired, a transfer is mandatory.
To ensure that the transfer of your foreign driving license goes smoothly, you should compile all the necessary documents in good time. Only when you have all the documents complete can you make an appointment at the driving license office in your place of residence (e.g. at the Constance District Office). They will check what further steps are required to obtain your German driving license.
As everyone has different requirements and learns differently, it would be dubious to give you a fixed price here. In our price calculator, we have compiled both the fixed costs and the variable costs for you. We have even included the incidental costs. This will give you a good idea of the costs involved in transferring your driving license from a non-EU country.
With regard to the additional costs, which are independent of our driving school, we assume no liability for the information provided. Even if we have published them to the best of our knowledge, there may always be changes that we have not included (e.g. municipal fees).

Only under certain conditions. A probationary period is applied if your foreign driving license is less than two years old at the time of transfer. The date of the original issue of the driving license is decisive and not the date of the transfer in Germany.
Yes - unless the country in which you received your driver's license is on Annex 11 FeV or the so-called list of countries. Special rules apply to the non-EU countries listed there. For many of the countries listed there, no test is required at all. A glance at this list will show you what the conditions are for your country.
Once you have officially registered your residence in Germany, you can drive with your foreign driving license for a maximum of six months. After that, it is no longer valid and you are not allowed to continue driving without a transfer. If you have exceeded the deadline, you should take care of the transfer as soon as possible to avoid legal consequences.
You can easily make an appointment online on the City of Munich's website.
If you need your transfer urgently (e.g. for your job), you can ask the driving license office for priority processing. In some cases, accelerated processing is possible, for example through express procedures or special examinations. We will do everything we can to get you to your destination as quickly as possible.
