• Driver's license: If the existing driver's license was not issued by the city of Jena, an index card copy of the foreign driver's license authority, which issued the driver's license, is necessary. Please request the copy of the index card yourself from the responsible driving licence authority and have it sent directly to us or sent by fax. If you still have an old driving licence (grey/pink), you must apply for the new licence at the same time as you apply for a driving licence for the carriage of passengers.
