Moped test certificate (TÜV)

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

If you are 15 years or older, you are allowed to ride a moped on public roads. To do this, you must have a so-called "moped test certificate". You will receive this if you have successfully completed theoretical and practical moped training and passed the required theoretical test.

Exception: You do not need a moped test certificate if you hold a valid German driver's license for any category or a valid foreign driver's license that entitles you to drive motor vehicles in Germany.

In addition, anyone who reached the age of 15 before April 1, 1980 does not need either a driving license or a moped test certificate to drive a moped.

Theoretical and practical moped training is regularly carried out by driving schools. After completing the moped training, you will receive a training certificate.

To be admitted to the theoretical moped test, you must submit the relevant application to the technical testing center (usually TÜV) and present your training certificate. Once you have successfully passed the test, you will be issued with a moped test certificate.
