In its session on 15.02.2019, the Bundesrat (upper house of the German parliament) passed the 13th ordinance amending the Driving License Ordinance (FeV) and other road traffic regulations. The resolution also includes the so-called staggered mandatory exchange of all driving license documents issued before 19.01.2013. This means that by 19.01.2033 all driving license holders in the European Union should have a driving license of the same standard. It is planned to stagger the period according to the year of birth and the date of issue of the driving license. This regulation is intended to avoid a rush on the driving license authorities and disproportionately high processing times for citizens.
