Applying for a driver's license for the first time

Anyone who wants to drive a motor vehicle in Germany needs a driving license. The driving license, in which the driving licenses are entered, serves as proof of possession of the corresponding driving licenses.

You can apply for an unlimited driving license for categories A, A1, A2, AM, B, BE, L and T.

The first driving license, with the exception of category AM, L and T, is issued on probation. The probationary period lasts two years.
