UK -> DE driver's license

Recently a parent posted her experience with getting her UK license transferred to a German license. She lives outside of Stadt München, in the Kreis München, so something are a little different, but overall the procedure is very similar for city and county. She was kind enough to let us repost her experience. We appreciate it and so will all the parents it helps!

This group has always given me so much information that I thought I would share some info back about changing my UK driving license to a german one. I hope some people find it useful! 

I needed with me: 

1. passport 
2. standard sized (35mm x 45mm) biometric passport photo,  
3. driving license (both card and paper)
4. registration document with your current address (mine had to be issued by Garching but it didn't have my new address on - they have charged me an extra 5 euros to check it I think)
5. This form filled in: Antrag auf Erteilung einer Fahrerlaubnis für Kraftfahrzeuge  which can be found on this page:  Ausländische Fahrerlaubnis umschreiben

Go to Bretonisher Ring 1 (nearest station Vatterstetten). In the building follow signs for Fuerherscheinstelle which should take you up to the first floor.

In the waiting room collect a ticket for the queue by selecting the Ausländer Fahrschein. You'll be called to the desk via the screen. Looks like this would be where you get an International License too as that was one of the options. There was also a sign about waiting times and people who are pregnant/have young children but I didn't manage to translate it fully, but you might get some sort of priority. However, today I only waited for about 10-15mins.The person serving me spoke reasonable english and helped me fill in bits of the form I wasn't sure about. To pay you get given a plastic credit card with the amount on. My total was about 35 eurosYou go down to the automatic Kasse machines back down the stairs and you can pay with cash or card. Take the receipt back up (you don't have to wait again) and they'll give you copies of your old license (they keep it) which are stamped to say they have it. I'm now waiting for a postcard to say to ring up to arrange to collect it...in about 4 weeks. At the very end of the process I was told you have to come in person (I can't do it for my husband) but apparently I could also have done it in Garching Rathaus - where I live(!) - so you might want to check if you can do it more locally if you can.
