I’m slightly confused now
Based on the many comments. Can I keep my gray rag unpunished now … there is no expiry date on it, or not?It is valid for indefinitely as a document? Who has an absolutely safe and correct answer?
The driver’s license
is valid indefinitely . This applies to all driving permissions issued to this day ! The "driver’s license" is not a driver’s license … just a documents that documents the driver’s license in daily handling . Even if I am controlled by the police without a "driver’s license", the police can query my data and determine whether I have a valid driver’s license .
The title is still wrong (!)))
"Drivers who were born before 1953 must then apply for a new driver’s license." That is not true (!!!) The rag only has to be rewritten for 1950-52/ exchanged from 2033, the old ones only come at the very end…. And who drives a car – then everything is already autonomous (!)))
Restrictions on contact
Only the second age group of corona -threats have been forced to the contact regulation. Life depends on the plastic card and no politician can implement the temporal shift. As a result, I know the bureaucratic effort with an internet appointment and walking around the officials without a mask and then the control entrance through security services. As a taxpayer, I can also pay for this, led by the CDU. My election decision will be derived from this and I hope that the mass of those affected also recognizes it
How often
In my driver’s license, none of them are that it will run or invalid at some point. I have a good driving license. Properly issued by an official. So a document. Or should I now also bring my birth certificate to check card format. So now for the third time again. Dear EU…….., You can…….
What do you have about it?
I know people who are now driving around with a gray rag that still includes the youth photo with 14 from the moped license. If the rag is lost, pretty much everyone can use it if only the gender and the approximate age is right. It is not wrong if a more current photo is taken from time to time so that you can see the driver’s license holder.
So let’s count ..
The “old gray rag” never runs, the new one is only valid for 15 years. 26 € + 26 € (for keys 7.5t), + 25 € Pass photo = approx. 75 € plus 1 exchange for € 50 (photo +fees) == Ca. 130 € I can pay the penalty 13 times and since on average I only get into a police check every 5 years, 65!! Drive for years without problems … Then I only drive around in heaven. The two vacation days for the authorities come on top of that: I will not exchange anything.
correction
Dear site. When do the citizens who were born before 1953 have to exchange the driver’s license for a compulsory fee? Please correct the article. Thanks!
Clearly, first
pensioners.Have most of the time, a lot of money and can best be deducted.There are also no anti -exchange groups on the streets.But note: Exchange costs a good € 25 plus a new passport photo, once catching the old driver’s license (relatively unlikely) 10 €.There is indefinitely on the old glow!
Check card format
The report says that even driving licenses issued from 1999 to 2013 must be replaced from 2026 to 2033. There were still paper leading notes out? My documented document (2000) at the time (the gray had become illegible) is already in the EU check card format. Or is there a new, different check card document that was only introduced in 2014? The report leaves questions open to me, it says at the beginning, only the paper document owners should react, not the check card holders.
On the older check cards is still
no validity date printed. In the future, all driver’s licenses will have a validity date such as travel passes and personnel cards. Unfortunately, this became necessary to pull fake documents out of circulation or incorporate new security standards.
