Remark: as well as the corresponding work instructions issued by the ministries

Process flow
The application must be submitted in writing. Subsequently, inquiries are made by the competent body and opinions are requested for preliminary examination. The application is then forwarded to the medical-psychological assessment centre.
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
The exemption may not exceed the prescribed minimum age by a maximum of 1 year. The exemption is then usually granted until the minimum age is reached.
What else should I know?
The exemption can only be granted if there is an unreasonable hardship for the person concerned. In the assessment of reasonableness, it shall be examined in particular whether the destination can also be reached by other means by public transport or carpooling or whether the destination can also be reached by vehicles for which no exception is required.
