Hello faisal k, welcome to Germany and thank you for your question!
I noticed that you have your full name displayed. According to our privacy regulations we do not allow full names to be displayed. This is to protect the privacy of the community, as this is a public forum for everyone to see.
Can I kindly ask you to shorten your name, or choose a nickname.
Thank you for understanding.
A similar question was also posted by a community member, maybe my answer will also be useful to you https://together-in-germany.de/en/thread/how-get-driver-license please take a look.
For the first 6 months in Germany, you can drive with a valid Afghan license. You will have to translate the license into German and carry this translation with you. The translation should be done by an official recognized automobile club.
To transfer your license to a German one, the following documents must be submitted along with your transfer application:
1.ID or passport
2.Registration certificate (“polizeiliche Anmeldung)”)
3. Biometric passport photo
4.Your eye test results (“Sehtest”) issued by an optician or ophthalmologist
5.Confirmation of participation in a first aid course. You can find a first aid course nearby, for instance, on ASB or Johannitern.
6. Original driving licence issued in your country of origin (handing in an international licence is not adequate). In principle, the driving license must be translated into German by a sworn translator.
7. A statement that confirms the driving license issued in your homeland is still valid.
Sometimes the driving license authorities ask applicants for a certificate of good conduct (“polizeiliches Führungszeugnis”) as well. You can receive such a document from your local administration authorities or apply for it online at www.fuehrungszeugnis.bund.de
You can apply for the transferal at your local “Führerscheinstelle” https://www.meldebox.de/fuehrerscheinstelle/
Please also read our chapter on “How to obtain a German driving license” https://handbookgermany.de/en/driving-licence
You can also change the language at the bottom left hand corner.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
