Replace driver card due to loss
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe driver card is used to record driving times and rest periods for the commercial transportation of goods and passengers.
If you have lost your driver card as a truck or bus driver, you can apply for a replacement card from the office responsible for you.
From the time of loss, you may continue to drive without a valid driver card for a maximum of 15 days until you receive the replacement driver card. As long as you are not in possession of your driver card, you must record the driving and rest periods manually. You must make printouts of these from the digital tachograph and carry them with you.
The replacement driver card is valid until the same date as the lost original card - if this would have been valid for more than 6 months. The period of validity therefore does not start again from the beginning.
When the replacement card is issued, the previous card loses its validity. If you do find it again, you must return the driver card to the competent authority or the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). You may not continue to use it.
Your employer is not obliged to reimburse you for the cost of the driver card.
To apply for a driver's license, please contact the driver's licensing authority of the locally responsible district or city administration of the independent and large district towns; in the area of the large district towns of Bingen am Rhein and Ingelheim am Rhein, contact the Mainz-Bingen district administration.
