Already drive? Plan your license conversion in Germany. If you want to exchange a foreign driver's license for a German Class B license, DriveBase helps you organize your preparation and get familiar with German road rules. Start with the conversion guide, keep track of your next steps and refresh the topics that matter to you. START WITH YOUR ISSUING COUNTRY Choose the country that issued your license and, where relevant, the region. Answer the guide's follow-up questions to see information for your case, points to clarify and links to official sources. Your local licensing authority confirms your individual requirements. FOLLOW YOUR CONVERSION ROUTE Roadtrip adapts to your country-check result. Keep track of documents, application preparation and the next steps relevant to your case. Review individual document notes, mark tasks as complete and see what still needs confirming. The conversion guide and conversion route are free. BUILD ON YOUR DRIVING EXPERIENCE Refresh German right-of-way rules, road signs, parking rules and distance formulas across 14 theory topics. If you are preparing for tests, use DriveBase alongside your official learning materials. With Pro, explore 60+ interactive exercises and get explanations of your decisions. PREPARE FOR DRIVING PRACTICE Revisit mirror and blind spot checks, driving lesson vocabulary and dashboard warning lights. Pro adds interactive practice with turn signals, wipers, lights and gear changes, plus visual explanations of driver assistance systems and their limits. An optional driving lesson logbook is also included with Pro. PRACTICE SOLO OR WITH FRIENDS Refresh road signs, right of way and parking in three free games. In free Duel mode, 2 to 8 players receive the same tasks at the same time. Create a room or join with a code, choose one game or a mix and play 5, 10 or 15 rounds. IN ENGLISH, GERMAN AND SPANISH Learn German traffic rules in the language you prefer. Switch languages in Settings whenever you need to. FREE TO START. PRO WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION. Use the conversion guide, conversion route, theory basics, visual checks and three games for free. Pro unlocks 60+ interactive exercises, additional practical content, driver assistance systems and the driving lesson logbook through a one-time in-app purchase. DriveBase provides learning content and general orientation for German Class B license conversion. It is not a licensing authority or application service and does not guarantee recognition, eligibility or passing a test. Your authority decides your individual case; the app does not assume everyone needs the same tests. Its own exercises complement the official question catalog and driving-school preparation. They are not official TÜV/DEKRA test questions.

Bei DriveGuru lernst du die Theorie für den Führerschein nicht alleine, sondern mit einem echten Fahrlehrer an deiner Seite – seinen Erklärvideos, seinen Live-Sessions und persönlichen 1:1-Terminen per Video-Call. Gelernt wird im KI-Lernfeed: Du wischst dich durch kurze Lernblöcke, und der Feed entscheidet selbst, was als Nächstes dran ist – neue Themen, Wiederholungen der Fragen, die du falsch hattest, oder gezielte Challenges. Zu bestimmten Fragen gibt es passende Erklärvideos von deinem DriveGuru. Und wenn du etwas nicht verstehst, geht der KI-Tutor jede Antwortoption einzeln mit dir durch, rund um die Uhr. Ebenso gibt es ein Text-to-Speech falls du keine Lust hast zu lesen. Zudem gibt es eine Prüfungssimulation mit der du dich vorbereiten kannst.
