International driving licence
Der Internationale Führerschein wird auf Antrag zum nationalen Führerschein ausgestellt. Bei diesem muss es sich um einen EU-Kartenführerschein handeln. Inhaber alter Führerscheindokumente müssen dazu auch den neuen EU-Kartenführerschein beantragen.
Details
Prerequisite
You have your main residence in Jena.
Application
It is not possible to be represented at the application stage, as the International Driving Permit must be signed by you before it is issued. You do not have to fill in an application form. It will be prepared by us and only signed by you.
Apply online
You can also apply for an International Driving Permit online at the Driver Licensing Office.
Validity
The International Driving Licence is usually issued with a validity of three years. A shorter validity is possible if there are temporary C/D classes that are valid for less than 3 years and the entry of these classes in the International Driving Licence cannot be waived. An International Driving Licence cannot be extended after its validity has expired, a new issue is always required.
Notes on the International Driving Licence
The International Driving Licence can be issued in addition to the national driving licence. It is a "translation" of the national classes to international standards.
As a rule, the International Driving Licence is only required in non-European countries. Information on the necessity of the International Driving Licence in the individual countries can be obtained from the automobile clubs or from the respective foreign representative.
An International Driving Licence does not entitle the holder to drive a motor vehicle in Germany. If a driving ban is imposed, not only the national driving licence issued by a German authority must be surrendered for the duration of the driving ban, but also an issued International Driving Licence.
