The German Driving License Ordinance (FeV) of August 18, 1998 is in the area of traffic law the successor regulation to Part A ( admission of persons to road traffic ) of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO, former §§ 1 to 15).
The new regulation had become necessary as part of the harmonization of traffic law in the European Community , in particular with the standardization of driving license law and the adoption of international driving license classes. The summary of all driving license regulations in a separate regulation underlines the importance of the regulations, increases the degree of binding force and simplifies the overview. In addition, new provisions on the central driver's license register , the medical-psychological examination and the driver's license test have been included .
The earlier regulation on international motor vehicle traffic has been incorporated into the driver's license regulation since July 30, 2008 ( Federal Law Gazette I p. 1338 ).
The FeV was first issued as a national ordinance to implement Directive 91/439 / EEC of July 29, 1991. The current version is the Directive 2006/126 / EC on driving licenses issued on December 20, 2006 .
