How much does it cost to change driving license in Germany?

I moved to Germany from Ukraine in March 2020, so I was able to use my driving license only for half a year. So I applied to driving courses in Emmendingen instead of ones in Freiburg as they have russian speaking teachers and it was a bit less tricky to get an appointment there.

Anyway, it took me more than a year (probably w/o Corona it would be a bit faster) to get my new shiny German driver license.

Here is my costs breakdown:

• 20-Nov-12 25.00 EUR Registration fee
• 20-Dec-22 150.00 EUR Contract with Driving school + driving school app access
• 21-Apr-08 65.00 EUR First aid course
• 21-Apr-08 55.00 EUR Translate my Ukrainian driving license at ADAC
• 21-Jul-01 43.90 EUR State fee to issue new driving license
• 21-Sep-23 80.00 EUR Theory exam at TÜV
• 21-Oct-29 80.00 EUR Theory exam at TÜV (I failed my first attempt)
• 21-Nov-22 63.33 EUR Driving lesson
• 21-Dec-01 63.33 EUR Driving lesson
• 21-Dec-02 120 EUR TÜV exam fee
• 21-Dec-02 120 EUR Driving school exam fee

Total: 865.56 EUR

What would I do differently to speed up if I knew everything in advance?

1. Get contract with driving school as soon as possible. This is a must to apply for a driving license at authorities.
2. Eyes test and driver license translation in parallel.
3. First aid course in parallel.
4. Good mobile app for theory training is crucial. The app I used sucked.
5. Sometimes it’s better to check German original. Example: Kraftfahrzeuge is not the same as translated “транспортные средства”, as this doesn’t include, for example, bicycle.
