Apply for a driving license

In order to receive the permission to take the examination, you must also apply for your driving license at the driving license authority in addition to registering at the Rausch driving school.

You should do this as soon as possible after registering at your driving school.

You have registered a residence in Germany.

If you have your main residence outside Munich, you must apply for your driving licence at your local district office or town hall.

During the processing time, you can already start your training at the driving school.

As soon as your driving licence application has been approved, you will receive your test order and thus permission to take the test.

In your student manager FAHREN LERNEN you can check the receipt and validity of your test order.

Information on your current application can be obtained from the Munich Driver's Licence Office.

Your driver's license application and thus your examination permit is valid for one year.
