| # Obtaining a drivers license | ||
|
|
||
| Like most official processes in Germany, obtaining a drivers license takes time and patience. There are | ||
| many steps involved and the process can be affected by a number of factors: | ||
| - Do you already have a drivers license? | ||
| - In which country (and possibly, which state) was your license issued? | ||
| - Is your previous drivers license still valid? | ||
|
|
||
| ## Drivers license tests | ||
|
|
||
| There are two tests you will have to take (depending on your current drivers license status/country/state): | ||
| - Theorie (i.e. written test) | ||
| - Practical (i.e. driving test) | ||
|
|
||
| The theorie test requires that you learn 1000 questions. 30 questions will be randomly selected for the test. There are 2-5 points associated with each question, depending on the importance of | ||
| the question. When you miss a question, the points associated with the question are tallied. **To pass the test, you must miss 10 points or less.** | ||
|
|
||
| Here is a [sample driving test](http://osterberger.org/test.html). It's an old paper test. You will be taking a digital test. The questions shown on the paper test are similar to the questions you will face | ||
| on the digital test. | ||
|
|
||
| When you sign up for a driving school (Fahrschule), you will almost certainly be given access to a smartphone app that will allow you to study the required 1000 questions. The questions will | ||
| appear identically (or near-identically) to the way they will appear on the theorie test. There may be minor differences depending on the app you are using to study. | ||
|
|
||
| The theorie questions are updated every three months so it's best to study fast so you don't have to learn new questions. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Translation of your current drivers license | ||
| Depending on where your current drivers license was issued, you may have to get it translated to German. | ||
|
|
||
| | Location | Approx. Cost | Waiting Period | Other Information | ||
| | ------------- |------------- |------------- |------------- | | ||
| | [ADAC](https://www.adac.de/adac_vor_ort/berlin_brandenburg/verkehr_und_technik/fuehrerscheinfragen/default.aspx?ComponentId=67578&SourcePageId=61898) | €35 | approx. 10 days **(ADAC will keep your drivers license during this time)** | If you pick up the license for someone else, you will need their passport | ||
|
|
||
| ## Prior to submitting your application at the Bürgeramt: | ||
| You need to complete the following tasks before going to the Bürgeramt. Note that the links below are a mere sampling and do not constitute an endorsement. | ||
| It is recommended to research any company before signing up to determine their validity and English-speaking capabilities: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Translation** / See [above](#translation-of-your-current-drivers-license) | ||
| - **Eye test** / Any eye glasses store (e.g. [Fielmann](https://www.fielmann.de)) | ||
| - **Photo** / Any photo store that takes passport photos | ||
| - **First-aid course (Erste Hilfe)**: | ||
| - [M-A-U-S](https://www.erstehilfe.de/) | ||
| - [Ersthelfer.tv](https://www.ersthelfer.tv/reservieren/reservation/) | ||
| - [Erste Hilfe Kurs](http://www.ersthelferkurs.de/) | ||
| - and others | ||
| - **Fahrschule** / You need to sign up with a driving school prior to going to the Bürgeramt | ||
| - [Fahrschule R.E.X.](http://www.rexdrive.de/) | ||
| - [Fahrschule Verkehr Human](http://www.verkehrhuman.de/) | ||
| - [Fit-For-Drive](http://www.fit-for-drive.cc/) | ||
| - [AS Driving Schools](http://www.as-fahrschule.de/) | ||
| - [Fahrschule Prenzlauer Berg](http://www.fahrschule-berlin-prenzlauer-berg.de/german%20driving%20license%20home.html) | ||
| - [Asphalt-Profis](http://www.asphalt-profis.de/) | ||
|
|
||
| ## Bürgeramt application notes | ||
| - Make sure you specify "Manual Transmission" on the application if you want to drive/rent manual transmission cars. If you specify "Automatic Transmission", you will only be allowed to | ||
| drive/rent automatic transmission cars. You will also take your practical driving lessons/test using a manual transmission. | ||
