Driver Qualification Certificate Exhibition
Within the European Union, road safety is to be improved. Therefore, self-employed and employed drivers who carry out road haulage or passenger transport on public roads must prove a special qualification.
In addition to the required driving licence, drivers must acquire a basic qualification to enter the profession.
Please apply for the Driver Qualification Certificate (FQN) in writing. The competent authority may require you to hold preliminary discussions in person. Please inform yourself in advance on the homepage of the driving licence office responsible for you. There you will also find information about the documents you need.
Upon receipt of the application, you will receive an invoice for the application fees.
After payment of the application fees and examination of the documents, the competent authority has a driver qualification certificate produced by Bundesdruckerei.
Bundesdruckerei will send you the driver's qualification certificate.
The responsibility lies with the Hanover region, the districts and independent cities (driving licence offices).
