First Steps  \nQ: What comes first when I want to transfer my hometown license into a European/German license?  \nA: First, you must translate your old license at a company called ADAC. Then you must do an eye test and a first aid course. Take care it must be an drivers first aid course (9 sessions á 45 mins) . For the eye test you need to visit an optician. As well tell him you need to apply for a driver’s license. Take your original driver’s license and a confirmation of your first registration in Germany with you. These documents and your ID Card or Passport you need to apply for your German license. Take care! It is important in which city you are registered. Nürnberg has a different department then the city of Erlangen. If you own a motorbike or truck license as well, please mention which driver´s class you want to rewrite. If you apply for all your classes, you will need to do an exam in all classes!! If you just want your car license to be rewritten, you need to tell them!  \nQ: When is it possible to start with the education in the school?  \nA: At the driving license department you must name at which school you want to do your education. The school is just able to start the education with you once your documents have been accepted. You should just wait until everything is done. First you need to do the theoretical test and finally then you do the practical classes.  \n\n| Introduce yourself in our school | | Visit driver´s license department |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nPass theoretical test  \nQ: How do I know my papers have been accepted by the driving license department?  \nA: You will receive an invoice from the exam institution, called TÜV. It is very necessary that you pay it within the next days. With the payment you are not booking an appointment for your exam. In Germany only the driving school can book the theoretical/ practical test for you.  \nYour application is valid for one year! You are not in a hurry but within this year after receiving your invoice from the TÜV, you need to pass the theoretical test. Otherwise, you would have to reapply! After passing the theoretical test you have again one year to do your practical exam.  \nQ: What are the next steps after paying the fee for the exams?  \nA: Good! Now everything is well prepared to start your learning. First you must study and pass the theoretical test. Then you ask about one of our English-speaking teachers for a practical class. For better organisation we do not start with the driving before you passed the theoretical test.  \nQ: How do I book an appointment for the theoretical exam?  \nA: Unfortunately, you can´t book an appointment on your own. You will have to come to our office. That’s why we must charge you a fee for the booking. To keep it easy please prepare your calendar and let us know when you are free. We are not completely free to decide when your appointment will be. There is a calendar from the TÜV institution which we can use for the booking. Pretty much like in a cinema, we are just able to book the free slots. There are no extra slots. Usually, we will find a slot for you within the next 2 weeks.  \nThere are to different locations in Nuremberg where you will do your exam. Take care only Monday or Tuesday theoretical exam is possible.  \nQ: What do I have to bring with me on theoretical exam day?  \nA: Basically, you just must bring your ID – Card and Passport. Please show up 15 minutes earlier. There is nothing to pay at that day. You have already paid in advance.  \nQ: What do I do when I failed the theoretical exam?  \nA: No worries stay calm and try again ☺ Please wait until the next day to come our school. It’s not possible to book another appointment at the same day you failed. For registration we will have to charge you again. As well you will have to pay the TÜV institution again.  \nQ: I still don’t know what the fee structure is! Please help.  \nA: Keep it simple! Two exams but four fees.
