Werkstattkarte wegen Verlust ersetzen
If you have lost your workshop card, you can apply for a replacement card from the relevant office.
Description
The workshop card is a tachograph card for
- approved manufacturers of tachographs,
- vehicle manufacturers,
- workshops and
- their responsible specialists such as fitters or technicians.
Your responsible specialists use the workshop card to install, check and calibrate digital tachographs and to download their data.
If your workshop card has been lost, you can apply for a replacement card from the responsible office as an entrepreneur or as an authorized representative. To do so, you must submit a current certificate of approval or authorization of the workshop to test tachographs. This certificate must not be older than 3 years.
Your replacement workshop card remains valid until the same date as the lost original card - if this would have been valid for more than 6 months. The period of validity does not start again from the beginning.
However, if the remaining term of the card is less than 6 months, you will receive a new card. It will then be valid again for one year.
When the replacement card is issued, your previous card loses its validity. If you do find the workshop card again, you must return it to the responsible office or the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). You may not continue to use it.
When applying to replace a workshop card due to loss, you as a company must provide proof that the authorized specialist is still employed by you and has been trained in accordance with the tachograph card and recording equipment training guidelines. The training certificate must not be older than 3 years.
The workshop card is PIN-protected. The personal PIN number is sent to the specialist's home address. Skilled workers may only have one workshop card per employment relationship and may only use it there. The workshop card is the property of the company.
