A driver's license is an important transportation requirement for all city dwellers. To this end, some leeway should be allowed in procurement. Some states require you to pass both a road test and a written test to get your driver's license. In other federal states, however, you can simply apply online and pass the driving test on site. Obviously, the licensing process is slightly different depending on where you live.

German drivers must meet certain requirements in order to obtain their driver's license at the age of 18. A full German driving license requires the completion of comprehensive driver training, passing an exam and an eye exam. All of these steps are necessary to demonstrate your competency as a driver. You must also carry your driver's license with you when driving. Interested parties should of course also know that driving without a license is punishable by fines and imprisonment.

In addition to a study permit, all prospective students must pass a written exam and eye exam to obtain a state license. The written exam covers the traffic sign and traffic safety laws as well as the basic operation of motor vehicles. The eye exam primarily assesses your vision and involves an optometrist evaluating your vision using lenses and a meter. If you fail any of the exams, you must retake them within 60 days before you can get your driver's license.

After passing both exams and securing your full driver's license, you can apply online for yours. Instead of waiting in line at the DMV office, you can submit your paperwork online and pay the fees yourself. You will need your full name, date of birth, address and vehicle details and a photo taken with your mobile phone. Finally, attach any documents proving your identity such as an ID card or social security card, along with the application fee. Your application will be processed immediately once all required documents have been submitted.
