Driving licence re-issue
Anyone driving a motor vehicle on public roads must obtain permission from the competent authority. If a person proves to be unsuitable or unqualified to drive motor vehicles, the competent authority shall revoke his driving licence. This applies in particular if there are illnesses or defects or if there has been a significant or repeated violation of traffic regulations or criminal laws and thus the suitability to drive motor vehicles is excluded.
If the holder of a driving licence still proves to be conditionally suitable for driving motor vehicles, the competent authority shall restrict the driving licence as far as necessary or order the necessary conditions.
Where facts are known which raise concerns about the suitability for motor vehicles, appropriate investigations must be ordered in accordance with the provisions of the Driving Licence Regulation.
Process flow
After withdrawal, a driving licence can be reissued at the earliest after the expiry of the blocking period and only on request for the re-issue of a driving licence in accordance with Section 20 of the Driving Licence Ordinance (FeV). During the judicial proceedings or withdrawal proceedings by the competent authority, it is not decided whether the holder of the driving licence is again suitable for driving a motor vehicle after the expiry of the driving licence blocking period.
When submitting an application, the competent body shall check whether there are any concerns about your suitability to drive on public roads. A medical-psychological examination (MPU) is regularly required if there is a repeated violation of traffic regulations in accordance with Sections 315c and 316 of the Criminal Code (StGB) or if the driving licence has been revoked earlier.
Since the relevant investigations take a certain amount of time, the application for a new driving licence should be submitted to the competent authority three months before the expiry of the blocking period. You can request the corresponding application form by phone or e-mail.
When the licence is reissued by the competent authority, the holder may again participate in public road transport with a motor vehicle subject to a licence.
