Driving license exchange: How to secure the new EU card driver's license!

Burloer Straße 93, 46325 Borken, Deutschland - The countdown is running! Anyone who saw the light of day after 1971 must exchange their old paper driver's license for the new, falsely-proof EU card license by January 19, 2025 at the latest. This legal regulation is intended to ensure that all driver's licenses in the EU have a uniform and safe design. Anyone who was born after 1953 and has not yet exchanged is also affected. The Borken district administration urgently advises to submit the applications early in order to cope with the expected flood of applications.

Important information on exchange

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 to change can be conveniently downloaded from home at www.kreis-borken.de/fuehrerscheinschluchschluch . The fee for the exchange is 30.40 euros. The applicants have the choice as to whether they personally submit their application to the citizens' office of their town hall, make an appointment in the departments of the traffic department in Ahaus, Bocholt or Borken or send the application to the responsible body by post.

The old paper driver's license remains valid indefinitely, but can be limited in a limited time by a stamp in the citizens' offices. This enables direct shipping of the new card driver's license to the applicants, so that a further visit to the departments is not necessary. If the application is written, however, a time limit by stamp is not possible, since the driver's license is usually not submitted in the original. So if you are still in possession of the old driver's license, you should act quickly so that you don't miss a deadline!
