Central driving license register

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Central Driving License Register ( ZFER ) is one of the four central registers kept by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) in Flensburg - Mürwik .

In addition to this register, the Federal Motor Transport Authority also maintains the Central Vehicle Register (ZFZR), the Driving Fitness Register (FAER) and the Tachograph Card Register (FKR).

The legal basis for running the ZFER is Section 48 of the Road Traffic Act (StVG).

Content of the ZFER

Since January 1, 1999, the central driver's license register in Germany has recorded which driver's licenses and corresponding driver's licenses the local driver's license authorities have issued to a person. Personal data , ancillary provisions (requirements, restrictions) etc. are stored for this purpose, but not the residential addresses.

Driving licenses according to the EU-standard driving license classes A to D including their sub-classes, the trailer classes (E) and the national classes L and T, as well as the trial period and special features such as the driving license for passenger transport for novice drivers are recorded.

The legal basis for the establishment and operation of the register can be found in Sections 48 to 63 StVG, more detailed provisions in Sections 49 ff. Of the Driving License Ordinance (FeV, Ordinance on the Admission of Persons to Road Traffic ) of August 18, 1998 , which are authorized by Section 63 StVG .

The register is kept by the Federal Motor Transport Authority in Flensburg - Mürwik . The data is transmitted by the driving license authorities for registration. You can request information about your own data free of charge. The StVG also enables various authorities - partly in the automated retrieval - information from the register, z. B. for the prosecution of criminal offenses or administrative offenses. This information also ensures that a person in the EU only has a driving license and a driver's license. The central driving license register was set up to introduce the new EU driving license classes.

Before the central driver's license register was set up, only negative data on the driver's license (such as its withdrawal or a driving ban ) were stored in the central traffic register (VZR) and the data of novice drivers were stored centrally. The other information about the driver's license was only stored in around 600 local driver's license registers; these continue to exist unless their data had to be deleted by December 31, 2014.

Regulation at EU level

For the territory of the EU , there is a single register for data exchange on vehicles and driving licenses, EUCARIS (European Car and Driving License Information System). Each EU member state has appointed an authority that maintains contact with EUCARIS for its country; the Federal Motor Transport Authority is the authority involved in Germany. Information from the EUCARIS can only be obtained in Germany from the KBA.
