Procedure details

The so-called index card transcript is an extract from the local driving license register of the driving license authority that issued your driving license and provides information about your personal driving license data.

It may be required, for example, if,

  • you want to exchange your pink or gray paper driving license for the forgery-proof EU card driving license or
  • your paper driver's license has been lost and you need a replacement driver's license

and

  • and your (last) driving license was not issued by the driver licensing authority now responsible (= driving license authority responsible for your current place of residence), but by another driving license authority.

You do not apply for your new driver's license at the authority that issued your last driver's license.

  • Your paper driver's license was issued by a Bavarian authority and
  • You have moved to another district/another district-free city in Bavaria, to another federal state or to another EU or EEA member state since the driver's license was issued.

You can request a copy of the index card from the authority that issued your last driver's license.

This can usually be done by telephone, in writing or by e-mail. More and more authorities are also allowing online applications.

In order to be able to process the request as quickly as possible and without additional queries, the following information in particular is usually required:

  • Family name
  • Former surnames (maiden name or married name), if applicable
  • First name(s)
  • Date of birth
  • Place of birth
  • If known, driving license data (date of issue, driving license number)
  • Address and, if applicable, fax number of the driving license authority now responsible for you.

As a rule, the copy of the index card will then be sent directly to the driving license authority now responsible for you, where you applied for the new driving license.
