As already mentioned above, driving licences from EU states and EEA states do not have to be transcribed. They only have to be valid according to the regulations of the respective country. When the validity expires, a new driving licence must be applied for in Germany.
The obligation to transfer a foreign driving licence also does not apply to persons who are only staying in Germany for a short time, such as tourists.
However, they must still observe certain regulations. For example, minors (persons under the age of 18) are not allowed to drive a motor vehicle in Germany, even if it is permitted in their home country.
