Driver's license lost: you should know that
- If you have lost your driver's license, a provisional driver's license will be issued for the time being. The correct driver's license can usually be picked up after 2 to 6 weeks.
- If you are in a hurry, you can ask many admissions offices for a special date. However, you also need a good reason for this.
- The waiting time of 2 to 6 weeks can also be reduced to up to 48 hours. However, the so-called express driver's license causes additional costs.
- For the new driver's license you need a current biometric photo, your ID and, in the event of theft, the theft report from the police. If you have lost your ID and it has not been stolen, you must also sign an affidavit.
- Depending on the registration office, the new driver's license costs between 35 and 40 euros. The acceptance of the affidavit costs another 30 to 40 euros. For the express driving license, 15 to 35 euros will be charged extra. If you have the express driver's license sent home, you will be charged another fee of up to 5 euros.
