[@amitprajapati9229]

Thank you for such informative video. Really understood the entire process. Looking for which school to go to. Do you recommend any Driving School in Frankfurt?

[@dchavan2504]

Hi, Shilpa. I think the rules are different in each federal state. Unfortunately it is much more expensive doing the licence from the beginning in Germany, but in Germany you get a good and complete driving education. i observed, that many of those, who just got their licences converted, had much more problems in the traffic, especially in big cities like Berlin or Hamburg, as they were not prepared for many situations. so although it is more expensive, the education is totally worth. But for many it is just more important to get the licence instead of the proper education.

[@FlyingAbroad]

Yes I agree with you on this point actually. But eventually you will get perfect by driving and also save money so I guess conversion is not a bad option either and also very much depends on your personal driving skills and comfort level.

[@dchavan2504]

@@FlyingAbroad might be true... I'm telling this because i experienced an accident on the autobahn as passenger with someone who just converted his licence. That's why i think it is better to get proper education :). It was just luck that noone was hurt. He didn't take enough lessons to judge the speed. In Germany you become a big fan of safety first :)

[@shatadalsen2643]

​@@dchavan2504not all conversions are through exams some countries have privileges unlike indian lisence. And imagine them driving here with just the lisence transferred without any training. Won't be a delight.

Hi Is it possible to directly register for theory exam without involving Driving school as driving school fees seems to be 3 times more than the TUV fees.

[@aamerparvez3538]

Hello, that's a really helpful video. But what if someone wants to apply for the driving license and not convert? Do you have any leads on that? Because in my friends case he doesn't have Indian license but he knows how to drive, so he wants to apply directly. Will be waiting for you valuable information.

[@FlyingAbroad]

Then he must start the fresh process to get a DL here. If he knows driving then it will be beneficial while taking practical classes.

[@AmeyMogare]

Thank you for the video! I just now cleared my practical test and now have below question. During application submission, they did not ask me for copy of Indian driving license. So, I haven't submitted it. And then with my Fahrschule, I did all 14 theory classes and practical classes. So, the question is, while picking up German driving license, can I submit my Indian driving license? (because if I get it as "new" driving license, then there is probation period of 2 years I think 😞 )

[@brijeshprasad1046]

Hi. nice video. As mentioned in the start you do not need to attend theory if you already have driving license. But you mentioned that you attented the theory exam. So I assume yours was a fresh application ? Also can you let me know did you had any driving experience in India ? Or it was a first experience in germany ?

[@FlyingAbroad]

Hello Brijesh, Thanks for watching 🙏 We converted Indian DL to German one, for that Theory classes are not mandatory, but Theory exam is compulsory of course. For that you can prepare, we have shared the tips. Ours was not a fresh application. It was a conversion. And we had driving experience from India, and also got experience in the first 6 months while entering to Germany first time. We hope this helps you in the process. All the best.

Hi Shilpa, Thanks for the great video. Just a small question. Once you submit the original license, do you get it back or?

Now the problem is in Indian License I had LMV and MCWG and in German License which I got is only B class that is only for LMV, so what should I do when I go back to India and wanted to ride MCWG. Is there any option so I can get my Indian License back because With out that I cannot drive a MCWG in India. They have given me a international License which also say’s only LMV.

[@shatadalsen2643]

Price update. 2021 -registration to driving school now cost 300-350 euros - see test cost nothing is you're a fielmann customer and do it with them. - first aid costs 50-70 Euros - TüV takes 139 euros (practical+theory) * you pay more if you fail an attempt. - school will charge something between 40-70 for each theory attempts. - practice hours cost between 56-70 euros per 45 minutes dependeing on city and school. Lumpsome with the risk of 1 extra theory attempts with an existing indian lisence you need somewhat 4500 euros. It might be more depending on when you're exam ready how good your school handle your case. For lisence transfer you do not get lisense on the same day. You get the paper and you can use it to drive till you get the card. The card is not issued by TüV its issued by road authority collected couple of weeks later as for transfer of indian lisence you will need to submit your indian lisence.
