Apply for a re-issue of a driving licence
Description
If your driving licence has been withdrawn, you must re-apply for it at the driving licence authority responsible for your main residence. The same provisions (§ 20 FeV) apply to this new edition as to the first edition. Due to the sometimes very long processing time, you should submit the application for a new driving licence at least eight to ten weeks before the expiry of the blocking period.
If the driving licence has been withdrawn by the court or by the driving licence authority, a new driving licence can be applied for again 6 months before the expiry of the blocking period.
Which documents are to be submitted in individual cases, please clarify in advance by telephone with the responsible office.

In the event of concerns about physical and mental fitness, the submission of specialist reports by doctors with traffic medical qualifications or medical-psychological reports may be ordered.
Helpful information about the medical-psychological examination (MPU) can be found on the website of the Federal Highway Research Institute.
In certain cases, advanced seminars or courses to restore fitness for driving must be completed.
- The driving licence expires if it has been withdrawn or renounced. If a blocking period is imposed, it does not automatically revive after its expiry. The driving licence must be re-applied for in accordance with the provisions of the first issue. The old vested interests have expired.
- In certain cases, advanced seminars, medical-psychological assessments, specialist medical assessments, courses to restore fitness to drive or re-proficiency tests must be completed.
- The driving licence authority may order a new driving licence test if available facts justify the assumption that the applicant no longer possesses the necessary knowledge and skills. This is usually the case if the validity of the requested classes has expired for more than 5 years (class C, D) or 10 years (class A, B).
