Detailed description
If you are 15 years or older, you can drive a moped on public roads if you have a so-called 'moped test certificate'. You will receive this if you have successfully completed theoretical and practical moped training and have passed the required theoretical examination.
Method:
After completing the moped training at a driving school, you will receive a training certificate.
The theoretical moped test is taken at the technical test center for motor vehicle traffic (TP). The training certificate must be presented there.
After passing the theoretical moped test, the TP issues you the moped test certificate.
Exception:
You do not need a moped test certificate if you hold a valid German driver's license of any category or a valid foreign driver's license that entitles you to drive motor vehicles in Germany.
Anyone who turned 15 before April 1, 1980 does not need a driver's license or a moped test certificate to drive a moped on public roads.
