Our Goals for You
We offer a comprehensive range of services related to your motor vehicle, driving licenses, and traffic management, thereby making a valuable contribution to mobility and traffic safety in the district and the region.
Our Services
We ensure that the roads in the Oberberg district – unless some municipalities are responsible themselves – become, are, and remain safe through appropriate and lawful traffic regulations. For this, we work closely in the accident commission with the police, municipalities, and road maintenance authorities.
As a driving license authority, in addition to issuing driving licenses for various vehicles, it is our task to assess the fitness to operate motor vehicles. This is done to protect all road users.
This protection is also our motivation to ensure the safety of motor vehicles driving on our roads. For this, proper registration and sufficient insurance coverage are essential.
