List of registration offices "Bürgerämter" in Berlin

Not all the civil servants working in the registration offices do speak English. If you don't speak any German at all or your knowledge is rather basic, take somebody with you how does, to make things easier. Alternativly go strait to the Berlin driving license authority :
Location and hours of the Berlin driving license authority
Please bring the following items :
- ID-card or passport
- Eye test certificate
- First aid course certificate
- Passport photo
- 43,40 EU fee
You have to name the driving school of your choice at the application, so chose one first. If you want to make your driving license at our school, please state "DEKRA Ferdinand-Schultze-Str." at the testing authority question. It takes up to 12 weeks to process the application. So apply as soon as possible, you can't take the tests before your application is processed !
Buy learning material to prepare for the theory test :
Books, Questionnaires, CD-ROM or Online Access.
For learning material in various languages click here
Usualy after 5 to 10 weeks the permission by the driving license authority hat you are allowed to take the tests
( "Prüfauftrag" ) will be sent to you.
While waiting for your "Prüfauftrag" attend the theory classes. There are 14 lessons - 12 basic knowledge and 2 additional knowledge for categorie B. You can start with any lesson.
Please note : Our "normal" theory classes are in German !
If all students consent we will do it bilingual.
If you would like to have private lessons in English we charge 48,95 EU per lesson ( 90 minutes ).
The charges are PER LESSON NOT PER PERSON so if you bring along your friends, its much cheaper ;-)
After attending the 14 lessons you will get a certificate at the school which you have to present to the testing authority ( DEKRA or TÜV ) in order to take the theory test. Costs are :
- 20,83 EU - Theory test in any EU driving license language
- 84,97 EU - Practical test
You are usualy asked to pay the practical test with the theory test, you don't have to but make shure that you pay the fee for the practical test well before it's date.
Please note : Youl will need your passport or a german ID card to take either test.
There are 12 mandatory practical lessons, 45 min. each.
If you have passed the theory test and after the necessary number of practical lessons we will make a appointmet for the practical test at the testing authority. Costs are :
- EU 84,97 fee at the testing authority
- EU 75.- at our school
- EU 27.- (appr.) for the time which you will practise directly before the test
Of course, every driving student tends to try the practical test as soon as possible.
But failing the practical test is costly. One or two additional
lessons can be a good investment. If you fail, you have to
wait at least 14 days for the next try, or 7 days if you take
at least 3 times 90 min. lessons.
If you have passed the practical test you will get your driving license by mail.
