Driving licence permit applications are submitted in writing to the police department for the applicant's place of residence. The permit must be paid for when submitting the application. (If you attend a driving school, the school will usually handle most of the paperwork for a driving licence. Any further applications must be made in person at a police department.) When applying for a driving licence permit, the following must be submitted: 2 photographs (required if the previous photographs were submitted more than 3 years earlier or the applicant's name has changed) young person's health certificate (obtained no more than five years earlier) or a driving licence medical certificate (obtained no more than six months earlier) written consent of parents/guardians when applying for a moped, motorcycle or tractor licence if the applicant is under 18 years of age. In addition to a permit application form, applicants must fill in a form asking whether they already have a driving licence issued by another EU or EEA country, or whether they have been banned from driving in any EU or EEA country. Fees: Issuing a driving licence permit (covering both the short-term driving licence and the subsequent permanent driving licence) EUR 60 New short-term (phase I and II) driving licence permit without the need to take a driving test EUR 60 Issuing a driving licence permit in other cases EUR 40 Decision to refuse a driving licence permit EUR 30 Back \| Print page
