You can also authorize a representative with your written power of attorney to submit the application. However, if an affirmation in lieu of an oath is required, you must appear in person.

If a registration certificate part II (vehicle registration document) is lost, the registration authority usually requires a declaration in lieu of an oath.

Depending on what your licensing authority offers, a form is available for you to download.

The loss of a registration certificate part II or a vehicle registration document is reported to the Federal Motor Transport Authority by the registration authority and published in the Verkehrsblatt. You can only pick up the new registration documents after the expiry of the deadline. The registration authority can provide you with information on the expected processing time.

Have you found the registration document you thought you had lost after the replacement document was issued? Then you must return the old document to the registration authority as soon as possible.

The new registration certificate part II (vehicle registration document) may only be issued and handed over or sent by registered mail after the expiry of the so-called tendering period at the Federal Motor Transport Authority in Flensburg. The procedure takes four to six weeks, depending on the publication of the notices.
