Change driving licence from German to irish

KD1976

HI,

i am living in Ireland nearly two years now and i would like to change my driving licnece into an Irish one. I have still the old paper driving licence from Germany. My problem is to find out which classes i can drive. Germany doesnt really have so many categories like Ireland. I have my driving licence now 15 years. With my german driving licence i am allowed to drive big trucks, motorbikes no limit on cc, busses and normal cars.

Motorcycles and mopeds
A1 Motorcycles up to 11kW and up to 125cc with or without a sidecar
A Motorcycles with or without a sidecar
M Mopeds with a maximum speed of 45kph and an engine size of up to 50cc
B Vehicles with seats for up to 8 passengers and a maximum weight of 3,500kg (can tow a trailer where the maximum weight of the trailer when fully loaded is 750kg or less - total maximum weight of 4,250kg) 17 years
W Work vehicles with or without a trailer, such as a land tractor or JCB
C1 Goods vehicles between 3,500kg and 7,500kg 18 years
C Goods vehicles over 3,500kg 18 years
D1 Passenger vehicles with accommodation for more than 8 and up to 16 people
D Passenger vehicles with accommodation for more than 8 people
EB Vehicles in category B with a trailer 17 years
EC1 Goods vehicles in category C1 where the combined weight of vehicle and trailer when fully loaded is not more than 12,000kg, and the fully loaded trailer is not heavier than the empty goods vehicle 18 years
EC Goods vehicles in category C with a trailer (includes articulated trucks)
ED1 Passenger vehicles in category D1 where the combined weight of vehicle and trailer when fully loaded is not more than 12,000kg, and the fully loaded trailer is not heavier than the empty passenger vehicle 21years
ED Passenger vehicles in category D with a trailer 21 years

I would have choosen the following categories
for Motobikes - A
for Cars - B
for Busses - D
for Trucks - C
for Trailer - EB, EC1, ED

I am not sure if this is correct, need your help and thanks in advance.

Thanks
KD

You didn't say exactly what categories you have on you German licence, but considering you said you can drive motorcycles, car, trucks, buses, and trucks with trailers (bus with trailers) I would just apply for every single one category that's available.

A, AM, A1, B, C, C1, D, D1, EB, EC1, EC, ED1, ED.
