About this service
Berlin's driving licence authority is part of the State Office for Citizens' and Regulatory Affairs (LABO). It deals with driving licences, including the conversion of foreign licences. Exchanging an EU/EEA licence costs €37.50 (2026), needs a main residence in Berlin and a personal visit, and can also be done at Bürgerämter. LABO publishes current processing dates online, which show applications are processed several weeks after submission. Contact by online form, phone or the city's chatbot.
