Und dann kam Corona. Und schlagartig wurde unser Leben so auf den Kopf gestellt, dass diese (hoffentlich nur zwei) Jahre für immer in unser Gedächtnis eingebrannt bleiben werden. Und jetzt entdecken wir es wieder: das Leben von früher. Durch die Lockerungen von heute. Und so entsteht Hoffnung für morgen. Meine Hoffnung für die Zukunft: Ein kleines Kind spielt Entdecker - auf dem Dachbo- den oder im Keller. Auf einmal kommt es aufgeregt angelaufen: „Opa, Oma, schaut mal, was ich gefunden habe! Ist das von Karneval?“ Und es hält einen eigentümlich geschnittenen Stofffetzen mit Bändern an beiden Seiten in der Hand.

    Foreign Driving Licences (Non-European and Non-European Economy Area States (EU/EEA) Non-Exempted States All non-EU/EEA foreign driving licences will lose their validity six months after you’ve officially registered your residence within Germany. If your licence was issued by a non-EU/EEA or non-exempted state, you will need to pass practical and theoretical driving exams, complete a first aid course and undergo a vision exam in order to legally drive in Germany after six months of residency. (Partially) Exempted States Holders of driving licences from some foreign states are (partially) exempted from taking the otherwise obligatory theoretical and practical driving tests and health exams in order to legally drive in Germany. You still need to obtain a German driving licence, but the process is easier. In countries like USA, Canada or Australia, the rules of exemption depend on the federal state, province or territory the licence was issued by. Schedule an appointment Book an appointment with us to start the process.
