Welcome to Drivers Testing and Training

To drive in Germany, U.S. personnel must have a valid stateside driver's license and obtain a USAREUR driver's license. The driving age is 18 and above in most European countries. 

USAREUR driver's licenses are valid for five years. If someone's tour extends beyond five years, they must renew the license and pay the fee. Personnel must carry U.S. Stateside license with USAREUR license. 

Keep in mind, only USAREUR license holders are authorized to drive a USAREUR registered vehicle. A USAREUR licenses is not a substitute for an international License. Personnel planning to travel should obtain an international driver's license.

How to Get a USAREUR Drivers' License

 

Step #1: Complete USAREUR Driver's License training on Joint Knowledge Online (JKO)

People age 18 and over must first complete the training and pass the USAREUR driver's test on JOINT KNOWLEDGE ONLINE (Course IDs: USA-007 and USA-007B). Common Access Card (CAC) users can log into JKO. CAC users can sponsor dependents without CACs on the website. For applicants under age 18 who already possess a valid U.S. driver's license, their sponsor must request  an exception to policy from USAREUR headquarters in Sembach. The request should include the sponsor's name, rank, organization, APO mailing address and a copy of the front and back of the applicant's U.S. driver's license.  

Note: All incoming and new personnel to the Wiesbaden local area who have not obtained a USAREUR POV license in Germany before will attend the 2.5-hour “POV Drivers Orientation” class and pass the 100-question written test in order to obtain a USAREUR POV Certificate of License.
