Frequently asked questions about state funding for your driving license

FAQ on the topic of subsidies & driving license

Yes, there are various ways to have your driving license subsidized by the state, especially if it is necessary for your professional reintegration, further training or the start of a new job. The funding often depends on your individual situation and the requirements of the respective programs.

In the case of an existing employment relationship, your employer can also receive funding for the employee’s driver’s license training. Talk to us!

If you receive unemployment benefit I or citizen’s allowance and the driving license is essential for your professional integration, an education voucher may be an option. You apply for this with your responsible customer advisor at the employment agency or job center. It is important that you can justify why the driving license is necessary for your career prospects.

We will be happy to help you prepare and put together the necessary documents.

The chances of receiving funding are particularly high for driving license categories relevant to the job, such as HGV (category C, CE / C1, C1E) and bus (category D, DE / D1, D1E). A car driving license (category B / BE) can also be funded if it is absolutely necessary for training or a specific job, for example, and there is no other way to reach the workplace.

In the case of an existing employment relationship, your employer can also receive funding for the employee’s driver’s license training. Talk to us!
