But what’s the truth behind these rumors? As experts in vehicle technology and diagnosis, we want to clear up the myth and provide clarity in this article.

The Dream of a Quick Driver’s License
Imagine: You could simply order an EU driver’s license online, without bothersome driving lessons or exams. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it? It is precisely this desire that dishonest providers play on. They promise a quick and easy path to a driver’s license, often coupled with the promise of residency in a foreign country that doesn’t exist.

The Reality: How Driver’s Licenses Are Acquired in the EU
In reality, acquiring an EU driver’s license is subject to strict requirements. Generally, you must have your residence in the country where you wish to obtain the driving license. This means you must be registered there and have your center of vital interests there. This proof is carefully checked by the authorities.
“The authorities are aware of these fraudulent schemes and conduct strict checks,” explains Dr. Ing. Hans Müller, an expert in traffic safety. “Anyone attempting to obtain a driver’s license with forged documents must expect severe penalties.”

Offers promising you an EU driver’s license without residency or exams are generally bogus. Often, these are fakes that are not valid for use on public roads. Using such a driver’s license constitutes a criminal offense and can lead to severe consequences.
