PROCESSING TIME FOR THE EXAM AUTHORIZATION FROM THE DRIVER LICENSING AUTHORITY / AVAILABILITY OF EXAMS AT TÜV SÜD EXAM CENTERS
 

  • While your exam authorization is being processed by the driver licensing authority, you are already allowed to start the theoretical lessons and your driving appointments (driving lessons).
     
  • From the time you apply for your exam authorization (driver’s license application) at the driver licensing authority until your practical exam, it takes approximately 14–20 weeks:

    - approx. 8–12 weeks processing time by the driver licensing authority to issue your exam authorization

    - approx. 2 weeks advance time to book your theoretical exam at the TÜV Süd exam center

    - approx. 4–6 weeks advance time to book your practical exam at the TÜV Süd exam center. The practical exam may be taken no earlier than 2 weeks after the theoretical exam.
