Appointments at the driving license office

Until further notice, the following matters can be dealt with spontaneously without making an appointment online in advance:

• the personal collection of driving licenses, following appropriate written or verbal information
• Appointments for the issue of an international driving license.

For the following services, the necessary appointment is made directly by telephone or e-mail with the responsible clerk at the driving license office:

• Concerns relating to aptitude tests
• Commercial passenger transportation
• Driving licenses for passenger transport
• Driving instructor and driving school matters
• rescue services

You can also complete the following service directly online:

•  Applying for a driver's license for the first time
•  Apply for a copy of your driving license

In addition to the driving license office, the  citizens' offices also offer services for driving license matters that can be dealt with on site.

These include in particular

• Issuing driving licenses
• Accompanied driving from 17
• Extension to motorcycle category (except B196)
• Class C renewals
• Class CE (except in connection with key 95 or driver qualification certificate - FQN)
• Class B96
• Driving license changes (name, condition)
• Exchange
• Replacement issue
• International driving licenses.

There may be longer waiting times in the citizens' offices due to the large number of tasks. Some locations are also closed at short notice due to staff shortages  , so please check in advance which citizens' offices are open.

For general inquiries, you can reach the driving license office by calling  0711 216-57100 at the following times:

• Monday to Wednesday: 8:00 am - 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
• Thursday: 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
• Friday: 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

We need to make sure that you have a place of residence in Stuttgart. As there are many people in Stuttgart with the same name, your date of birth serves to identify you. Providing your telephone number makes it easier for us to contact you if we have any queries.

Our time estimates for the duration of appointments are estimates that can ideally be adhered to. However, each appointment is individual, so we cannot guarantee that it will be completed in exactly 15 minutes.

The driving license office releases additional online appointments for booking at short notice during the day - for example in the morning before opening or depending on daily staff capacity. In addition, a new day for booking appointments is activated online every day. This allows you to search for available appointments on the following day.

As before, no appointment is required to collect a driving license - after prior notification by the driving license office - or to apply for an international driving license.

We ask for your understanding that this is not possible for organizational reasons and ask you to make appointments online and also to cancel them online.
