Driving licence - extension C classes

Requirements

You have your main residence in Jena. You have the necessary minimum age or will reach it in a time near to the examination.

Application

A representation for the application is not possible, since the card driver's license contains your signature, which must already be made with the application. You do not have to fill in an application form. It will be prepared by us and only signed by you.

Apply online

You also have the option of applying online to the driving licence authority for an extension to include the C classes. To do this, please have your old driving licence ready, as you will need to enter the data accordingly. Please note that - in order to avoid queries - you must always answer NO or YES (then with further details) to the information in the health questionnaire.

For a quick and smooth processing of your application, it is advantageous to indicate your e-mail address and telephone number on the application form. In this way we can shorten the information path.

• The application should be submitted at the earliest 6 months before reaching the minimum age.
• Once your documents have been checked, we will issue the test order to the test organisation. Your driving school will be informed and can then register you for the test. The processing time for your application is approx. 4 weeks.
• After you have passed the practical test, the examiner will issue you with a provisional proof of driving entitlement and confiscate your old driving licence. The examining organisation will inform us that you have passed the test. We will then order your driving licence from the Bundesdruckerei in Berlin. The driving licence will be sent to you directly by post (the cost of postage cannot be avoided).

• Passport or identity card
• Photo: Please bring a photo that is not older than three months and complies with biometric regulations. The picture must be 3.5 x 4.5 cm. You can find out what the picture must look like on the Bundesdruckerei website (see links).
• 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 that 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. In this case, please note the information on "Exchange for the EU driving licence card".
• Proof of driving licence issuance (index card "VK 30") for issuance in the former GDR from 1968 to 1982
• Confirmation from the driving school you registered with
• Proof of adequate eyesight: Proof by means of an expert opinion or certificate from an ophthalmologist or a company/occupational physician - an issued expert opinion/certificate is valid for two years.
• Proof of health suitability: Proof must be provided in the form of a certificate from a doctor of your choice, taking into account Appendix 5 to the Driving Licence Ordinance. At the time of application, the certificate must not be older than one year. The required form is available under Links.
• Proof of first aid: Proof of training in first aid

The fee includes the cost of one driving licence. If you are applying for more than one class, it may be necessary for you to have several provisional proofs of entitlement to drive or driving licences for the respective classes you have achieved by the time you take the final test. This would incur further fees.

• Driving Licence Ordinance (FeV)
• Road Traffic Act (StVG)
• Fee regulations for road traffic measures (GebOSt)
