Driver qualification certificate issuance request
Service Description
Due to the Professional Driver Qualification Act, you as a professional driver are required to undergo special training in freight and passenger transport.
As proof of your qualification, a driver qualification certificate (FQN) has been issued on application since 23.05.2021. This gradually replaces the previous entry of the key number 95 in the card driver's license.
The FQN is a card similar in shape and size to the driver's license. The FQN must be carried along with the driver's license when driving.
The FQN is issued upon
Acquisition of the initial qualification,
acquisition of the accelerated initial qualification as well as
Completion of the prescribed further training (every 5 years).
You must apply for the FQN in writing to the driver licensing authority in your place of residence.
