Mergi cu mașina în Germania? Documentul pe care trebuie să-l ai la tine la graniță. Permisul nu este suficient • Newsweek România

Drivers traveling to Germany should be prepared for border checks and potential waiting times. ADAC emphasizes the importance of having valid travel documents, as a driver's license is not sufficient. Romanian citizens must carry a valid passport or national ID when traveling, even within Schengen countries. Germany continues to enforce temporary border controls, which may extend until March 15, 2027. The German Federal Police require travelers to present necessary documents during checks, which can occur up to 30 kilometers inside the country. Additionally, the new simple ID card issued in Romania lacks travel validity within the EU, necessitating a passport for those who possess it.
