Driving licence - extension D-classes

Requirements

You have your main residence in Jena. You have the necessary minimum age or will reach it in a time near to the examination.

Application

A representation for the application is not possible, since the card driver's license contains your signature, which must already be made with the application. You do not have to fill in an application form. It will be prepared by us and only signed by you.

• The application must be submitted at the earliest 6 months before reaching the minimum age.
• When submitting your application, you must declare which body you will commission to prepare the performance psychology report. After reviewing your application documents, the driving licence authority will commission the preparation of the report.
• After receipt of all documents, your application will be finally examined, after which we will issue the test order to the testing organisation. Your driving school will be informed and can then register you for the test.
• After you have passed the practical test, the examiner will issue you with a provisional proof of driving entitlement and confiscate your old driving licence. The examining organisation will inform us that you have passed the test. We will then order your driving licence from the Bundesdruckerei in Berlin. The driving licence will be sent to you directly by post (the cost of postage cannot be avoided).

• Passport or identity card
• Photo: Please bring a photo that is not older than three months and complies with biometric regulations. The picture must be 3.5 x 4.5 cm in size. You can find out what the picture must look like on the Bundesdruckerei website (see links).
• Driver's license: If the existing driver's license was not issued by the city of Jena, an index card copy of the foreign driver's license authority that issued the driver's license is necessary. Please request the copy of the index card yourself from the relevant driving licence authority and have it sent directly to us or sent by fax.
• Training contract of the driving school
• Proof of sufficient eyesight: Proof by means of an expert opinion or certificate from an ophthalmologist or a company/occupational physician - an issued expert opinion/certificate is valid for two years.
• Proof of health suitability: Proof must be provided in the form of a certificate from a doctor of your choice, taking into account Appendix 5 to the Driving Licence Ordinance. At the time of application, the certificate must not be older than one year. The required form is available under Links.
• Proof of training in first aid
• A performance psychology certificate is required for the granting of a D-class driving licence. The examination includes, for example, a test of the ability to cope with stress, reaction time, orientation and concentration. Proof that these special requirements have been met is provided by an expert opinion from an officially recognised assessment centre for driving aptitude. The examination is commissioned after application by the driving licence authority.
• An official certificate of good conduct (document type "O") is to be applied for by the applicant in person, stating the purpose "Permit to carry passengers", at the registration office responsible for his/her main place of residence (in Jena also when applying at the driving licence authority).

The fee includes the cost of a driving licence. If you are applying for more than one class, it may be necessary for you to have several provisional proofs of driving entitlement or driving licences for the respective classes you have achieved by the time you take the final test. This would incur further fees.
