The professional driver qualification is required for bus and truck drivers who use the C or D classes for commercial journeys on public roads. It must be acquired once as a basic qualification and then extended every five years through further training. Proof of professional driver qualification was previously entered in the EU driving license. This procedure has been changed in accordance with EU requirements. Since May 23, 2021, evidence has been provided by issuing a driver qualification certificate (FQN). This driver qualification certificate is issued as an additional card to the EU card driving license and is provided with the code number 95 after the respective class.
