Amberg-Sulzbach driving license office: Be sure to book appointments now!

In the Amberg-Sulzbach district there are far-reaching changes for everyone who wants to apply for or extend their driving license. The driving license office has now changed the system and can now only be reached by making an appointment in advance, which oberpfalzecho.de reports. Citizens should therefore make sure to secure an appointment in good time to avoid long waiting times.

It is particularly important to mention that no appointments will be made between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. Making an appointment online is easy via the website www.terminland.de/amberg-sulzbach, which makes the whole process much easier. The measures aim to optimize processes and improve services for citizens.

Things worth knowing about driving licenses

But what happens if you need a license to drive a truck or bus? This is where it gets exciting: These have only been available for a limited time since January 1st, 1999. The extension must be applied for at the local driving license authority. The authority also checks the physical fitness of the applicants, which you should keep in mind in good time. The city of Amberg emphasizes that the new EU card driving license is issued upon renewal and is limited to 15 years.

For driving license classes C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D and DE, these are issued or extended for a maximum of five years. Tried-and-tested Class 3 driving licenses are an exception here: C1 and C1E remain unlimited, while CE is issued for a limited period until you turn 50. Anyone who acquired a driving license between January 1st, 1999 and December 27th, 2016 will expire when they reach the age of 50 and a new application is essential.

The right preparation

If you want to prepare for the extension, you should have the following documents ready:

• Aktuelles biometrisches Lichtbild (Frontalaufnahme)
• Personalausweis oder Reisepass
• Bescheinigung über augenärztliche Untersuchung
• Bescheinigung über ärztliche Untersuchung
• Bei Klassen D1, D1E, D und DE ab 50 Jahren: Gutachten zur Belastbarkeit und Reaktionsleistung

A tip that you should take to heart: It is best to start the medical and ophthalmological examinations a year before the deadline and submit the application at least six months in advance. Delays could lead to a loss of existing rights. In addition, the health check can take several months, so keep your eyes open and act in good time!

With these new regulations and tips, you are well prepared to show a good hand at the driving license office and not miss any appointments!
