The driver card is used to record driving times and rest periods for the commercial transportation of goods and passengers. As a driver, you need a driver card for the following motor vehicles (motor vehicles):

  • Motor vehicles with a maximum permissible mass of more than 3.5 tons including trailers
  • Motor vehicles with a maximum permissible mass of 2.8 to 3.5 tons including trailers, provided a digital tachograph is installed
  • Motor vehicles designed to carry more than 9 persons including the driver

There are certain exemptions for farmers or for universal services.

If you do not yet have a valid driver card, you can apply for one from your local authority.

The driver card is valid for 5 years from the date of personalization by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). You must apply to renew your card at least 15 working days before it expires.

Do you want to renew a driver card that has already expired? Then you must place an initial order again.

The driver card issued to you personally may only be used by you. It always remains your property, even if your employer has paid for the driver card. In principle, they are not obliged to bear the costs.

In the event of damage, malfunction, loss or theft of the driver card, you must apply for a replacement card from the office responsible for you within 7 calendar days at the latest. You must immediately report the theft or loss of the driver card to the authority or body that issued the driver card.
