Additional dates for driving licence exchange
On Friday, 4 March, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., the driving licence authority of the City of Chemnitz will once again be offering additional appointments for the mandatory exchange of driving licences outside of regular opening hours. The offer is aimed at Chemnitz residents born between 1953 and 1958.
However, driving licences can only be exchanged on this day by prior appointment, which can be made from 22 February - either by telephone via the authorities' telephone number 115, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., or by e-mail to fuehrerscheinumtausch(at)stadt-chemnitz.de. In addition to the request, the surname, first name, date of birth, driving licence number and - if the driving licence was not issued in Chemnitz/Karl-Marx-Stadt - the authority that issued it at the time must be stated.
A confirmation with the exact appointment time and the respective appointment number will then be sent back by e-mail.
Furthermore, the driving licence authority of the city of Chemnitz provides additional appointments for the exchange of the above-mentioned driving licences every Wednesday. An appointment reservation as described is also required for this.
After the third EU driving licence directive comes into force, all driving licences issued before 19 January 2013 must be exchanged for a new EU driving licence by 19 January 2033. The exchange for paper licences is based on the year of birth of the licence holder. For the exchange of driving licences to be exchanged much later, the year of issue of the driving licence is decisive.
Due to the large number of documents to be exchanged, the exchange periods are staggered.
