  • Brief description

    You must register motor vehicles to operate them on public roads. This is done for reasons of road safety and to collect vehicle tax, as well as to be able to identify the owner or driver.
  • Description

    For a new vehicle with a general operating permit or EU type approval or an individual approval, you must apply to the registration authority for the allocation of a registration number.

    Vehicles without a registration certificate Part II must be identified by the registration authority. The licensing authority may also require the vehicle to be presented for other reasons.

     

    You can find information about the licensing authorities under "Further links".

     

    When you are allocated a license plate as part of the registration procedure, you will be assigned a combination of letters and numbers over which you have no control. However, you can also apply for a different combination of letters and numbers (e.g. your initials or year of birth) for a fee, subject to availability.

  • Prerequisites

    When registering the motor vehicle, you must prove that you are authorized to dispose of the vehicle, e.g. by presenting the registration certificate part II. In addition, the original EU certificate of conformity must be presented or the manufacturer must have enabled electronic data retrieval.

    Any modifications made to the vehicle that require approval (e.g. trailer coupling, aluminium rims, spoiler, auxiliary heating, etc.) must be approved in advance by the officially recognized expert for motor vehicle traffic (in Bavaria: TÜV Süd) or a technical service authorized in accordance with the EC Vehicle Approval Regulation.

    Initial registrations can also be carried out online.

    The prerequisite for this is registration via a citizen account with appropriate authentication (electronic ID card, residence permit with ID function or Elster certificate). In addition, a registration certificate part II with a stored security code must be available. The vehicle must correspond to an EU type and the manufacturer must have deposited a corresponding data record (he is obliged to do so if he has issued a registration certificate Part II after 1.10.2019). An electronic insurance confirmation (eVB) must also be available.

    The process is checked online and the vehicle is automatically registered if all requirements are met. You can then call up a provisional registration certificate. You can then print this out and keep it in the vehicle or display it. You must attach the license plates without stamp stickers to the vehicle. You can then drive the vehicle in Germany for a maximum period of ten days.

    If you receive the registration documents by post, you must affix the inspection and stamp stickers.

    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".

     

  • Deadlines

    basically none

    In the event that there is a period of more than 18 months between the confirmation of the type approval/EC type approval and the registration, the registration authority may carry out a vehicle inspection by the officially recognized expert for motor vehicle traffic (in Bavaria: TÜV Süd) or a technical service authorized in accordance with the EC Vehicle Approval Regulation to check the vehicle's compliance with regulations. This inspection also serves to determine whether the vehicle still complies with the technical regulations valid at the time of registration.
