Extension to categories AM, A1, A2, A, B, BE, L, T (apply online)
The application for the extension of driving license categories AM, A1, A2, A, B, BE, L and T can also be submitted online.
The online application has a "selfie" function which can be used to upload the photograph. The biometrics are ensured by software from Bundesdruckerei. We recommend taking the photos in front of a single-colored wall (without any disturbing objects in the background). Please make sure that your mouth is closed.
The applicant is authenticated conveniently and securely via the activated online ID function of the ID card, the electronic residence permit or the eID card via the "federal user account". You can also authenticate yourself with the online ID function (log in as a guest) without a user account via the temporary login of the "Federal user account". Then select the ID document (German ID card with online function, electronic residence permit, EU citizen card) and enter the PIN.
For the categories AM, A1, A2, A, B, BE, L and T are required:
Online ID card: For this you need:
An identity card, electronic residence permit with activated online ID function or eID card, EU citizen card and your PIN.
Federal user account (authentication via the temporary login of the federal user account ( no extra account needs to be created here, simply log in as a guest)).
Image file or smartphone: You can upload your current biometric photo as an image file or take it with the "selfie" function on your smartphone. The photo sample table (see link below) shows what your photo should look like. We recommend taking the photos in front of a single-colored wall (without any distracting objects in the background). You should also make sure that your mouth is closed.
