Has your driving license been confiscated? Then your license goes to the public prosecutor. They will decide within 10 days whether your license will be withheld or whether you will get your license back. If the police stop you with a confiscated license, you can receive a fine, it may lead to a longer driving ban, and your vehicle may be seized.

Prevent Your License from Being Confiscated

The police can confiscate your license if you endanger traffic safety. For example:

• if you are driving far too fast,
• if you are driving under the influence of too much alcohol or drugs,
• if you refuse to cooperate with a breath or saliva test,
• or if you display dangerous driving behavior.
