Welcome to our driving school

The first step towards obtaining a German driving licence is to apply to a driving school (Fahrschule). Valid licences from EU member states are also valid in Germany. Holders of these licences may also obtain a German driving licence without taking a test. There is no time limit for the application.  Holders of driving licences from certain countries may obtain a German driving licence without having to take a test, within three years of arrival in Germany.

Drivers must apply for a German licence. A first aid course and an eye test are required, in addition to written and road tests. Driving lessons are not mandatory.  

Learning to drive in Germany is a rather costly process. For the normal license you have to do a mandatory 14 theoretical lessons, 12 practical lessons (4 motorway, 3 night time, 5 country roads), and then however number of actual lessons are required for the actual driving process. Then come extra costs for the test itself and getting the license.

If you already have a driving license from a country other than Germany, and you need information on getting it converted to a German license, then read this article: Converting to a German driving license.
