FAQs: Paper driver's licence translation
As the holder of a valid foreign driver's license, you can drive motor vehicles in Germany in accordance with your acquired driver's license. This regulation applies for a stay of up to 6 months. After these 6 months, a transfer of your driver's license is necessary. If you have an international driver's license, you do not have to carry a translation in Germany. Translations of official documents must be done by a translator sworn in Germany.
The classification has the task of defining equivalences (equivalences) between two differently named driver's license classes. More precisely, this means: There have been uniform classes in the EU since 2013. For example, if you have a car driver's license, your driver's license will state driver's license class B. This entitles you to drive a vehicle with a total weight of 3.5 tonnes.
Driver's license translations required for a German authority are always offered at lingoking including certification and classification. Translations for foreign countries, on the other hand, only with certification.
Unfortunately, different regulations apply to the old paper driver's license depending on the country. It is best to check in advance with the foreign authority whether your paper driver's license is recognised in the respective country or whether you need a certified translation.
