Driving licence: replacement
If your driver's license
- has been lost or lost,
- has been stolen,
- has become unusable because it has become illegible, your appearance has changed or there are other reasons,

Preconditions:

- Possession of a driving licence
Procedure:
The application for a replacement driving licence must be submitted in writing by the applicant in person to the competent authority.
The collection of the requested driving licence can also be carried out by a person authorised in writing.
Who should I contact?
The responsibility lies with the administrative district and the independent city in which you have your residence.
