Service Description

The driving license for categories D, DE, D1 or D1E is issued for a maximum of five years and can be extended by five years at the request of the license holder.

Who should I contact?

Please contact the driver licensing authority responsible for your place of residence.

Which documents are required?

  • Photo identification (identity card or passport (if passport is presented: enclose a current registration certificate from the registration office responsible for the main place of residence))
  • previous driver's license
  • Photo, 45 x 35 mm in portrait format and without border (so-called biometric passport photo) - frontal photo, without head covering and without covering of the eyes,
  • Proof of eyesight according to the model of Annex 6 No. 2 to the Driving License Ordinance.
    The certificate can be issued by an ophthalmologist, by a company or occupational physician, or by a physician from the public health department. An issued certificate/attestation is valid for 2 years.
  • Proof of physical and mental aptitude according to the model in Annex 5 to the Driving License Ordinance.
    You can have the certificate issued by any doctor. At the time of application, the certificate must not be older than one year.
  • In addition, for classes D, D1, DE, D1E, if you have reached the age of 50, a performance psychology certificate. The certificate must not be older than one year at the time of application.

What are the fees?

The fee is based on the schedule of fees for road traffic measures as amended from time to time.

What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?

The application can be submitted at the earliest six months before the expiry of the previous driver's license.

If the application is not submitted until after the expiry of the previous driver's license, the license will no longer be extended, but a new driver's license will be issued. The fact that you were already the holder of a corresponding driver's license at an earlier time is then no longer evident from the new driver's license.

Legal basis

What else should I know?

Regardless of whether it is a genuine renewal or a new issue (due to late application), a new driver's license is always issued.
