If you want to obtain a driver's license for the first time, you must submit an application to the driver's license authority. You can usually submit the required documents directly to your driving school, and they will take care of everything else.
With a regular Class B car driver's license, you are allowed to drive motor vehicles weighing up to 3,500 kilograms. You can also transport trailers weighing less than 750 kilograms with a Class B driver's license. To transport trailers weighing between 750 and 3,500 kg, you also need a trailer driver's license (Class BE).
