Führerschein Ausstellung Verlust/Diebstahl

If your driver's license has been lost (e.g., lost, stolen) or needs to be replaced for other reasons (e.g., because it has become illegible), you must apply for a replacement license.

A replacement driver's license must be applied for if the previous one has been lost, stolen or has become illegible, for example.

The application for the issuance of a replacement driver's license must be submitted to the competent office by the driver's license holder in person, in writing or on record. The requested driver's license may also be collected by a person authorized in writing; the replacement driver's license may also be mailed upon request.
