iFahrer – Driver’s License

To extend the validity of your driving licence in Germany, you need to provide proof of your aptitude and your vision. Aptitude refers to your overall ability to drive safely, which can include medical checks to ensure you are physically and mentally fit to drive. Vision is tested to confirm you meet the minimum visual standards required for safe driving. First aid training is important when initially obtaining a licence but is not required for extending its validity. Therefore, the documents proving your driving aptitude and eyesight are necessary for the extension process.
