Attention: driving license exchange until 2025! So it works right!

From now on it is time for everyone who saw the light of day after 1971: obligation to exchange for the paper driver's license! By January 19, 2025, these drivers have to exchange their old driver's license for the new, falsely-proof EU card driver's license. A legal must that ensures a uniform and safe appearance of all driver's licenses within the EU. Anyone who was born after 1953 and has not yet exchanged your paper license is also required!

important details about exchange

The Borken district administration urgently advises to apply for the exchange early in order to avoid long waiting times. For the exchange, those affected need their old driver's license, a current biometric photo, as well as a passport or identity card. The application for the exchange can be conveniently downloaded from the website www.kreis-borken.de/fuehrercheinschluch . The cost of this change is 30.40 euros.

The application can be made in various ways: directly in the citizens' office of the local town hall, after making an appointment in the departments of the traffic department in Ahaus, Bocholt or Borken, or by post to Burloer Strasse 93, 46325 Borken. A special advantage: the old paper driver's license remains valid indefinitely, but can be limited by a stamp, so that the new card driver's license is sent directly home. However, if you ask in writing, you have to make sure that a time limit by stamp is not possible here, since the driver's license is usually not submitted in the original.
