The learner's permit is issued after passing the basic theory. The validity of the learner's permit is limited in time.
The validity of the learner's permit expires if the holder has failed the practical driver's test three times and the licensing authority denies the applicant's fitness to drive on the basis of a test.
Use of the learner's permit abroad
If you want to drive abroad with the learner's permit, then please inquire at the competent authority or when crossing the border about the national regulations that apply there. We generally advise against undertaking learner's journeys abroad.
Who wants to acquire the driver's license of the categories A, A1, AM, B or B1, has to prove at the registration for the practical driver's test that the traffic knowledge was attended at a driving school. The course attendance must not be more than 2 years ago. Participation in the course requires a learner's permit (theory card for category AM). Exempt from attending the course are persons who already have a driver's license of one of these categories.
To take part in a course, please contact your driving instructor directly.
