Each entry expires on its own (no blocking of expiry since 2014). What counts is the total on the day of the latest offence.
How we calculateGermany records traffic points in the driving aptitude register kept by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) in Flensburg, which is why drivers speak of Flensburg points. This calculator applies Section 4 of the Road Traffic Act: it adds the points of a new offence to your current total and maps the result to the four stages, noted at one to 3 points, a written reminder at 4 or 5, a written warning at 6 or 7 and withdrawal of the licence from 8. If a stage was skipped, the authority issues the missing measure first and lowers the total to five or seven points, and the calculator does the same. It also tells you whether a driver improvement seminar would still remove a point and when the new entry expires: one point that became final on 1 September 2026 expires on 1 March 2029 and is deleted on 1 March 2030.
The rules behind the result
Stages, the lowering after skipped measures and the seminar deduction come from Section 4 StVG; expiry periods from Section 29 StVG. Which offence carries how many points is set by annex 13 of the Driving Licence Ordinance, and our fine calculator shows them for each catalogue number. What counts for the measure is your total on the day of the latest offence, not on the day the notice arrives.
The seminar option
With one to five points, attending a driver improvement seminar (Fahreignungsseminar) removes one point if you hand in the certificate within two weeks of finishing, once every five years. From six points the seminar brings no deduction. The page on reducing points has the details.
Limits
The calculator only knows what you enter. Several offences in one act count once, with the highest points; crimes with withdrawal bring three points and their expiry only starts when a new licence is issued. Your exact total comes from the free KBA register extract; the system as a whole is explained in the guide to Flensburg points.
