If you reach eight points in Flensburg, your driving license will be revoked.
If you don't know your account balance, you can check it free of charge at the KBA.
This is also possible online.
Anyone who doesn't follow the rules in traffic will not only receive fines, but occasionally also “points in Flensburg”.
The official name is the driving fitness register, which is also colloquially referred to as the “traffic offenders’ register”.
Depending on how serious a violation is, the “account balance” increases by one, two or three points.
Anyone who has accumulated eight points or more will lose their driving license – for at least six months.
In some cases, a medical-psychological examination (MPU) is necessary to get it back.
You want to avoid this situation.
If you want to know how many points you currently have in your account at the
Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA)
, you can find out in three different ways.
It is now also possible online.

Points in Flensburg expire – after different deadlines
Points in Flensburg do not last forever - they are automatically deleted after certain periods.
How quickly they disappear depends on the severity of the violation.
According to the ADAC,
it is two and a half years
for administrative offenses with one point, five years for administrative offenses with a driving ban or crimes with two points - and the "expiry period" for offenses with a driving license revocation is ten years.

You can also “actively” reduce points – but only to a very limited extent.
It is possible to voluntarily take part in a driving fitness seminar.
However, this is only possible with a score of up to five points, and you can only take part every five years.
And: With the seminar you can only reduce one point.
Check your score in Flensburg: This is how it works by post
It is therefore all the more important to know exactly what the “account balance” is in Flensburg.
Anyone who lives near the KBA or is nearby for other reasons can inquire there in person with their ID card or passport during opening hours.
A query by post is also possible: To do this, you have to download a form from the KBA website and fill it out and send it to Flensburg.
A copy of the front and back of the valid ID card or passport must be enclosed.
It is also possible to have the signature on the form officially certified.
The query is free.

Check your score online in Flensburg: What you need
A third option is to check your account balance online.
To do this, go to the
KBA
website and click on “Topics”, “Central Register” and “Driving Suitability Register” to get to the relevant location to check your points balance (“Your Points Balance”).
However, some prerequisites are necessary to be able to start the query:
An NFC-enabled smartphone or a card reader for the PC
An online ID including a self-selected six-digit PIN
The appropriate software for reading the online ID card must be installed on the device in question - for example, the “ID card app” on the smartphone.
If you have everything ready, you can follow the corresponding link from the KBA.
After successful identification, the register information is finally available for download as a PDF document.
This type of query is also free.
