These Driver’s Licenses Need to be Exchanged
The German Federal Government has announced that certain driver’s licenses will need to be exchanged by 2025. This is due to a new European Union directive that requires all member states to issue driver’s licenses in a standardized format.
The new driver’s licenses will be more secure and difficult to counterfeit. They will also include a number of new features, such as a microchip that stores the holder’s personal information.
The following driver’s licenses will need to be exchanged by 2025:
- Driver’s licenses issued before 1999
- Driver’s licenses issued between 1999 and 2005 that are still valid
- Driver’s licenses issued after 2005 that are still valid
The exchange process will be staggered over a period of several years. The first group of driver’s licenses that will need to be exchanged are those issued before 1999. These licenses will need to be exchanged by January 19, 2023.
The second group of driver’s licenses that will need to be exchanged are those issued between 1999 and 2005. These licenses will need to be exchanged by January 19, 2024.
The third group of driver’s licenses that will need to be exchanged are those issued after 2005. These licenses will need to be exchanged by January 19, 2025.
Drivers who do not exchange their driver’s license by the deadline will be subject to a fine.
The exchange process is relatively simple. Drivers will need to go to their local driver’s license office and bring their old driver’s license, a passport-sized photo, and a fee. The new driver’s license will be issued on the spot.
Drivers who have any questions about the exchange process can contact their local driver’s license office.
