Exchange periods for driver's licenses: Who has to act now?

until January 19, 2025, the born in 1971 and later their old driver's license must exchange their old driver's license for a new EU card license. This regulation concerns many Remscheider, because in the past two years 5869 citizens have exchanged their driver's license: 3562 in 2023 and 2307 in 2024, like rga.de

The exchange numbers do not have to match the respective years. It remains unclear whether all affected Remscheider have already exchanged their driver's license because the exchange is not checked. In the event of a control where the exchanged driver's license cannot be presented, there is a risk of warning money of ten euros that lies at the discretion of the police officers.

deadlines and further information on the exchange

The Remscheider can book an appointment for exchange via the city's website. The deadline for the exchange ends for the 1971 vintages and later. Older vintages that were born before 1953 have had time to exchange until 2033. Different deadlines apply to the EU card leaders who were issued before January 19, 2013: Fair auses that were issued between 1999 and 2001 must be exchanged by January 19, 2026, such as Remscheid.de not.

The exchange deadlines for driver's licenses that were issued by December 31, 1998 are staggered. For example, driving licenses that were issued before 1953 must be exchanged by January 19, 2033, while born from 1953 to 1958 had to have been exchanged by January 19, 2022. For years from 1959 to 1970, individual exchange data apply until January 19, 2024.

For the exchange campaigns carried out in recent years, the population has already shared very personal experiences and memories of their driving school period and put the acquisition of the driver's license into this context.
