Who is responsible

The renewal of a driving licence for the carriage of passengers (Fahrerlaubnis zur Fahrgastbeförderung) should be applied for at a Berlin Bürgeramt (citizens' office), since the required certificate of good conduct (Führungszeugnis) can only be applied for there at the same time. You can find out whether options for submitting the application exist besides booking an appointment (Termin) by opening the individual locations (click on the location). Collection of a driving licence for the carriage of passengers (P-Schein) is only possible at the Fahrerlaubnisbehörde (driving licence authority).
