We are also happy to offer you just the classification of your driver's license.
Why should you have a foreign driving license translated?
As the holder of a foreign driving license that does not originate from an EU country, you should always have your driving license translated. If you stay in Germany for more than six months, your foreign driver's license will no longer be recognized as a valid driver's license. You will therefore be driving without a license, which is a criminal offence in Germany and can be punished with expensive fines.
