Apply for driver's license extension for another driver's license class
Service Description
You are already the holder of a driving license and would like to extend it by another driving license (class)?
For the extension of a driver's license, the provisions of the initial issuance apply in principle.
Exceptions exist for:
- the extension of class A1 to class A2 and the extension of class A2 to class A:
If you have held class A1 or class A2 for two years before, you only have to take one practical test each time (upgrade). - the extension of class B to class BE, class C1 to class C1E, class D to class DE and class D1 to class D1E:
Here, only one practical test must be taken in each case.
Process flow
You must submit an application for a driver's license extension.
Who should I contact?
You can apply for the extension of your driver's license at the driver's license office of the county or city of your main residence.
In any case, you must apply for the driver's license transfer in person because your signature is required for the production of the driver's license at the Bundesdruckerei.
What are the fees?
The fee is based on the Fee Regulations for Road Traffic Measures (GebOSt).
Legal basis
What else should I know?
Against the backdrop of the implementation of an EC directive, all driver's licenses issued after January 19, 2013 will only be valid for 15 years. All driver's licenses issued before January 19, 2013 will remain valid for the time being, but must be exchanged by January 19, 2033. There is no provision for a new driving test or health check. According to the directive, the time limit is intended to ensure that only driver's license documents that meet all the directive's requirements will be in circulation after January 19, 2033.
