International driving licenses are required for temporary stays in a country that is not part of the EU. 

The international driving license is only a translation of the national EU driving license and therefore only valid in conjunction with it.

								    

									    Requirements
  • Possession of a valid EU driving license or
  • Possession of a valid foreign permit to drive motor vehicles in accordance with § 29 of the Driving Permit Ordinance (FeV).
  • Residence 
    - in Bremen or 
    - in a state that has not ratified the Convention on Road Traffic of 08.11.1968.

Important: This is a service under municipal jurisdiction. Therefore, you can only visit a service that is located in your place of residence.
