The obligation to exchange early EU card licenses from 1999 to 2001 has caused a surge in applications at Ludwigsburg’s driver licensing office.

From December 2025 to January 2026, applications nearly doubled compared to the previous year, exceeding 6,300 submissions.

Processing times have extended to several months due to the high volume, and inquiries may further delay overall handling.

Driving remains legal with an expired license, but a ten-euro fine can be imposed during checks unless proof of a pending renewal application is shown.

The staff of the driver's license authority are working with great commitment and under high time pressure to process the applications.
— This statement comes from a press release by the Ludwigsburg District Office regarding the current situation in processing driver's license applications.
