• Biometric photo
  Image file or smartphone: You can upload your current biometric photo as an image file or take it with the "selfie" function on your smartphone. The photo sample chart (see link) shows what your photo should look like. We recommend taking the photos in front of a single-colored wall (without any distracting objects in the background). You should also make sure that your mouth is closed.
• German driving license (e.g. GDR driving license, grey paper driving license, pink paper driving license, unlimited card driving license)
• Identity card or passport
• Sign out visual aid:
  If the visual aid is to be removed as part of the exchange, an ophthalmologist's certificate must be submitted in accordance with Section 12 (8) of the German Driving License Ordinance (FeV) in conjunction with Annex 6 of the FeV. The certificate must not be older than two years at the time of application.
• Transcript of index card (listing of driving license data if it was not issued in Wiesbaden). This index card copy can be obtained from the authority that issued the current driver's license. A file card transcript is not necessary if the applicant already holds an EU driving license.
  If no driving license data is yet available, the driving license authority must request a copy of the file card. The application for an exchange can only be processed once the copy of the index card has been received. Please note that this may take some time.

The fee is based on the scale of fees for road traffic measures (GebOSt).
