Eye test for the driving licence in Berlin

For your application you need an eye-test certificate (Sehtestbescheinigung) from an officially recognised eye-test provider. This is usually quick at an optician – but ask first whether they offer the driving licence eye test.

What applies to the driving licence?

Visual acuity of at least 0.7. Central daytime visual acuity of at least 0.7 (with or without a visual aid). (§ 12 FeV, Anlage 6)
Eye-test certificate no more than 2 years old. The eye-test certificate (Sehtestbescheinigung) must be no more than two years old when you apply. (§ 12 FeV, Anlage 6)
Bring your ID card or passport – the eye-test provider must check your identity (§ 12 Abs. 2 FeV).
Instead of the eye test you can also submit a certificate from an ophthalmologist (§ 12 Abs. 4 FeV). If you don’t pass the eye test, an examination by an ophthalmologist is required.

Legal basis: § 12 FeV, Anlage 6 FeV, § 67 FeV

Who may carry out the eye test?

Opticians count by law as officially recognised eye-test providers (§ 67 Abs. 4 FeV) and are therefore not on any official list. Opticians in our directory come from OpenStreetMap and are labelled “please confirm licence eye test in advance”: we have not checked whether the shop offers the eye test.
Other providers – often driving schools or first-aid providers – need recognition from the state authority. In Berlin the Senate Department (Senatsverwaltung) publishes the list of these providers; we mark them with “Officially recognised”. Official list (PDF) ↗
In addition, doctors at the public health office (Gesundheitsamt) and occupational physicians, among others, count as recognised (§ 67 Abs. 5 FeV).
