Competent driving licence authority

In addition, you must give a reason and provide suitable evidence as to why you would like to complete your driving licence training in Munich.
Possible reasons are usually accepted: place of work in Munich, training in Munich, school in Munich, secondary residence in Munich.
In some cases, the district offices may also accept other reasons. However, you must clarify this with your district office.
You should only start your driving licence training in Munich once you have received approval from your driving licence authority.
