Vehicle license plates; applying for a seasonal license plate

The Vehicle Registration Ordinance (Fahrzeug-Zulassungsverordnung - FZV) offers the legal option of using motor vehicles on public roads only for a certain period of the year. This can be done by deregistration and re-registration.
However, if the operating periods are the same every year, there is the option of so-called seasonal registration . The operating period is noted on the license plate in full months. The vehicle can be registered for a minimum of two and a maximum of 11 months per year. Splitting into several shorter registration periods per year is not permitted.

Once registered in this way, the motor vehicles can be used in the specified operating period every year without having to visit the registration authority again. General inspections falling within the rest period can be carried out in the first month of the next operating period. During the rest of the year, the vehicles may not be moved or parked on public roads.

Seasonal license plates can also be allocated online.

You can access the internet-based processes on the portal of your licensing authority. You will also find further information there.

Information on the online procedures of the licensing authorities can be found under "Further links".
