Driver disclosure

Secure the letter, its stated deadline, vehicle data and proof of submission under section 103 KFG.

A driver disclosure is an authority request directed to the registered keeper. Start with the original letter, the vehicle identified in it and the deadline stated in that letter.

Do not turn an assumption into a factual statement. Organise only actual knowledge and available records for prompt legal review.

What section 103(2) KFG requires

Under section 103(2) KFG, the authority may request information on who drove a motor vehicle identified by its registration at a specified time or used a specified trailer, or who last parked it at a specified place before a specified time. The information requested must include the person's name and address.

If the registered keeper cannot provide the information, the provision refers to naming the person who can. That is not an invitation to speculate. Record what is actually known and the basis for that knowledge.

Read the complete original letter

  • all pages, attachments, authority and file reference
  • service information and deadline exactly as stated in the letter
  • registration, requested time and any stated parking location
  • name and address of the registered keeper

Actual knowledge, not an assumption

Separate reliable recollection and records from assumptions. The driver disclosure check reviews these document points but does not draft a response. If information is missing or inconsistent, obtain timely legal review of the original letter.

Keep proof of the answer and submission

Keep the exact version submitted together with evidence of the method and time of submission. The driver disclosure checklist lists the relevant records separately.

Definitions are available in the glossary entries for driver disclosure and registered keeper.

This overview provides general information on Austrian administrative driving licence law. It does not replace legal review of the actual file.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the online check answer the request for me? +
No. It only checks whether key documents and information are available. It provides no template and submits no information.
Where is the relevant deadline? +
In the authority letter and service records. Keep both ready for legal review of the applicable deadline.
What if I do not reliably know who drove? +
Do not guess or present an assumption as fact. Organise your actual knowledge and available records. Section 103(2) KFG also addresses the case where the registered keeper cannot provide the information personally.
