The driver card is used to record driving times and rest periods in the commercial transport of goods and passengers.
If you are a driver of trucks or buses and have lost your driver card, you can apply for a replacement card from the office responsible for you.
From the time of loss, you may continue to drive without a valid driver card for a maximum of 15 days until you receive the replacement driver card. As long as you are not in possession of your driver card, you must record the driving and rest times manually. You must make printouts of these from the digital tachograph and carry them with you.
The replacement driver card is valid until the same date as the lost original card - if it would have been valid for more than 6 months. Therefore, the validity period does not start all over again.
When the replacement card is issued, the previous card loses its validity. If you do find it again, you must return the driver card to the responsible office or the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). You may not continue to use it.
Your employer is not obliged to reimburse you for the cost of the driver card.
