If you don't obey the traffic rules, you may get points in Flensburg.

You can check the account balance in three different ways.

"Traffic offender file" - that's what the Flensburg points account is commonly called.

In the official German of the authorities it is actually called “driving aptitude assessment system”.

There is also the “driving aptitude register” (FAER) – this records, for example, when a driver’s license is revoked.

Decisions on criminal offenses - such as coercion - and administrative offenses that affect road safety are also entered here.

Depending on the severity of the violation, traffic offenders receive points in Flensburg.

How many points do I have in Flensburg?

Depending on the severity of the traffic violation, between 1 and 3 points are added to the "Flensburg account" - the catalog of fines was only tightened in November 2021.

For example, the penalties in connection with the all-important rescue lane.

If you have accumulated eight or more points, your driver's license is gone for the time being.

However: The points do not last forever - they are automatically deleted after a certain period of time.

The length of time until deletion also determines the severity of the offense - it can take between two and a half years and ten years.

Points in Flensburg: Dismantling through a seminar is possible

A dismantling is also possible - however, only a single point can be repaid by taking part in a so-called driving aptitude seminar.

In addition, this is only possible once every five years - and is no longer possible from a score of more than five points.

• 1. Online query: Under this link you can call up your current score at the KBA.

  However, this is not exactly uncomplicated – among other things, you need an ID card with an activated online function for data protection reasons.

• 2. Query by post: If you prefer to send it by post, you can download a form from the KBA website and fill it out and send it to the Federal Motor Transport Authority.

  However, you must enclose a copy of the front and back of a valid ID card or passport.

  Alternatively, it is also possible to have the signature on the form officially certified.

• 3. On-site query: If you happen to be in the vicinity of the Federal Motor Transport Authority, you can also check your points personally during the opening times listed on the website.

  However, it is not possible here either without an identity card or passport or a valid official ID card.

Important to know: All three methods mentioned are free of charge.

Caution should be exercised with service providers who also appear when you google the topic “Check points balance in Flensburg” – a query about such companies is usually subject to a fee.
