Requirements
Driving licence at 17
In this article you will find out which requirements you must meet before registering at the driving school and what the legal conditions are. The checklist tells you which documents you have to bring along for the application BF 17.
Requirements
Before you can start your driving licence training, you must meet these requirements and confirm them with forms and applications.
- The minimum age is 17 years. However, you can register with the driving school at the age of 16.5 and start training for your driving licence. The earlier you start, the better you can benefit from the maximum duration.
- You need the consent of your parent or guardian. Since you are not yet of legal age, your legal guardians must agree that you register for accompanied driving and confirm this with their signature in a declaration of consent.
- You need to name an accompanying person. You can't do it without an escort. In order for this to be officially entered in the examination certificate, your accompanying person must sign a separate form confirming that he or she is available, that he or she knows the tasks and duties and that he or she will also submit a copy of your identity card or passport.
Make it official: Make an application
Depending on the federal state, there are the necessary forms for the application for accompanied driving at the responsible driving licence office or on the websites of cities and districts. Driving schools also usually have the forms in stock and can help you with your application.

Fees for the application
Your application for Accompanied Driving must be processed, your examination certificate issued and your accompanying persons checked for their suitability in the driving suitability register.
