🇩🇪 How-to get a DRIVING LICENSE in GERMANY (step-by-step guide)

[@raoulm.kisselbach1115]

Gratulation zum Führerschein! Übrigens eine kleine Anregung: könntest Du Dir vorstellen, mal ein Video auf Deutsch aufzunehmen?

[@ebo7310]

I'm relocating to German. I took my test online and passed. Ill just have to take the results to the license office.

[@ZoieMarie]

Well done! 👏🏾

[@Earthsbodye]

Sis i just moved to germany! Flat finding is tough for expats. Can you do a video on how you landed one when you first came? Congrats 🎉 im going to be doing the DL next. Thanks for sharing

[@ZoieMarie]

I got you! ✨

[@arnodobler1096]

My tip is to search actively, i.e. place search ads yourself! Not only on large websites such as Immobilien Scout, but also in local newspapers!

Enjoyed this video, def will welcome a video on car buying in Germany.

[@ZoieMarie]

Ok, got it!

[@corneliusjois9977]

Thanks for this great explanation. I just got my driving licence after failing twice, that was a whole struggle. I'm now car hunting 😊, It'd be really great if you gave us an insight about how to get a good and affordable car. Again thanks for your educative videos❤

[@ZoieMarie]

I feel you in the struggle part! Congrats for passing 🙌🏾 and noted on the car hunting process ;)

[@Allthings-Tiwonge]

I am trying to get my German drivers license and stumbled upon your video. ❤️. This is a very educative video

[@ZoieMarie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@KAMILLE731]

Enjoyed this video. I’m from Nevada so I’ll have to take the test. I’d also appreciate the video on purchasing a car. It would help in my decision to ship my car or sell it to dealership and use the money to buy a car in Germany….when that time comes. Hope you all are doing well, and Congrats to Sven on completing his Masters program!

[@arnodobler1096]

Gut gemacht!

[@Demahevans]

I’d love to learn the process for purchasing a car in Germany.

[@TheEmpressgoth]

Yes please share how you get a car in Germany❤❤❤❤ thanks for sharing

[@ZoieMarie]

You got it!

[@missd2657]

I remember my first time driving in America, I was sat at a red light and people were hooting at me. I wasn't aware right turns on red are permitted.

[@ZoieMarie]

My point exactly! This is something I was looking for in Germany too but it’s not a law here! Hence why folks should try to do some research when driving in DE 🇩🇪

[@chsch4751]

Glückwunsch👍

[@nothingspecial123Q]

I'm nearly 60 years old (German) and know a lot of people who did not hurry with the driving license because of the theoretical test and the much stuff you have to learn. You see - Germans are also annoyed about the theory 😁. And when I did the motorcycle driving license just about 15 years ago - I had to do it all again specified to motorcyles 🙄🤣🤣 By the way - I never understood the different rules for the different US states and also think it is really unfair! The states that don't have to do the German test don't have different road rules that are similar to Germany I guess? So why are they advantaged?

[@itsjustme8359]

Hey Zoie thanks for all the content you post. Do you find living in Berlin expensive? Also would you recommend Leipzig City , or Hamburg as a place to live for young expats?

[@ZoieMarie]

I think Berlin housing can be expensive but other living costs are relatively ok. Re: the other German cities I have no idea as I’ve never lived there 😇

[@Earthsbodye]

My drivers license is in delaware!!!! Woohoo

[@ZoieMarie]

Lucky!!

[@marvabaker961]

Well done 😊

[@ZoieMarie]

Thank you!!

[@patriciamadrynnamata6940]

Please make a video on how to get a car in Germany as an expat Thank you so much for the Video.

[@ZoieMarie]

Noted!

[@shayisha66]

Thank God, I passed it the first time when I lived there. Not so much for my ex-husband, lol.

[@ZoieMarie]

Well to be fair it’s not an easy exam but well done for passing on the first try!

[@shandriablackmon5684]

Hi Zoie!! Thank you for sharing!! I’ll be landing in Germany in roughly two weeks. I won’t be going through this process lol but it is helpful cuz I might like my experience and decide to move there who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️😅🤎💜

[@ZoieMarie]

Well the video is here in case you change your mind to get your license here 🇩🇪✨

[@Earthsbodye]

I shipped my car here...please do a video on this!!

[@ZoieMarie]

This topic I don’t have too much info on unfortunately :(

[@leecarole1]

Wow! Maybe 2000 Euros? I would be on public transportation, lol. No plans to move to Germany but this is still good info for friends who might.

[@ZoieMarie]

Yes it’s expensive!! 😭 if Public transportation was nice I wouldn’t have mind just doing that but I was traveling like 2 hours one way to work at the time. My job was so remote so I needed a car

[@shandriablackmon5684]

Actually I’m from Alabama but live California I wonder how that would work for me 🤔

[@ib4038]

It is kind of scary funny that I drove in Europe with an international license and my North American license. No lessons or questions asked when renting the cars in Western Europe.

[@ZoieMarie]

Yeah that is scary lol and to my point that maybe Germany should enforce more trainings & etc. for people coming over cause the no speed limit thing plus people who've never experienced that could be dangerous

[@Kbydfrsghusy]

Once you see the difference in rules and in the amount of signs of USA vs Europe you woudl understand why it’s better to just do it.

[@ZoieMarie]

100% agree!

[@coolmania8991]

Pu didnt talk much about german license…you just told us your history 😂

[@ZoieMarie]

Pretty sure I shared some resources 😮‍💨 but anyways want to keep these type of info videos based on my experience to ensure folks don’t blame me for wrong info or etc. This is just my experience getting a license here 🤷🏾‍♀️
