Ausnahmegenehmigung für Einzelfahrten Erteilung unter 3,5 t

Individual exemptions according to § 70 StVZO are required for motor vehicles and their combinations that deviate from the regulations of the StVZO in terms of their dimensions, weights, equipment or in any other way. You can find out more here.

Vehicles or vehicle combinations that do not comply with the construction and operating regulations of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) require a special permit in accordance with Section 70 (1) StVZO in order to participate in public road traffic. In addition to a permanent permit, exemptions can also be granted for individual journeys.

In principle, exemptions may only be granted if all reasonable possibilities for complying with the provisions of the StVZO and the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) have been fully exhausted.

Exemptions for single journeys can generally be granted for a period of validity of up to two months.

The single-trip exemption permits must be evidenced by the vehicle driver by means of a document, carried on the vehicle during journeys and handed over to the responsible persons for inspection on request

• Details of the owner
• Fornew applications, an expert opinion on obtaining an exemption permit in accordance with § 70 StVZO from an officially recognized expert for motor vehicle traffic or a technical service recognized in accordance with § 30 of the EC Vehicle Approval Regulation (EG-FGV) for testing complete vehicles of the respective vehicle class
  • Toextend an existing exemption permit: Copy of the old §70 STVZO exemption permit, an expert opinion may have to be submitted subsequently
  • Tosupplement or amend an existing exemption permit: Supplementary report (If towing vehicles or trailers other than those listed in the exemption permit, stating the vehicle identification number, are to be used in vehicle combinations such as trains or articulated vehicles, a supplement to the exemption permit is required)
  • Totransfer an existing exemption permit: Existing exemption permit with the corresponding expert opinion and the registration certificates
• Registration certificate or operating license of the vehicle combination
• Old exemption permit, if applicable
• Insurance certificate, if applicable
• Authorization if the application is made on behalf of a third party

As a general rule, exemptions may only be approved if all reasonable options for complying with the provisions of the StVZO and the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) have been fully exhausted.

The fee notices are based on the scale of fees for road traffic measures (GebOSt). A framework fee of €10.20 to €511.00 is set there for each decision on an exemption from a provision of the StVZO per exemption and per vehicle/owner; if there are several vehicles of the same design when the application is submitted, a reduced fee may be set. The exact amount of the fee depends on the processing effort and economic advantage for the applicant in each individual case; the determination is at the discretion of the authority.

The amount of the fee also depends, among other things, on the period of validity. When submitting your application, you must therefore state the desired period of validity.

You can apply for a special permit in writing or online.

Before you can apply for an exemption for a vehicle, you need an expert opinion from an officially recognized expert for motor vehicle traffic or a technical service recognized in accordance with § 30 of the EC Vehicle Approval Regulation (EG-FGV) for the inspection of complete vehicles of the respective vehicle class.

The expert opinion must state the necessary exemptions from the StVZO, the suitability of the vehicle or vehicle combination and the requirements and conditions deemed necessary in the interests of road safety. The expert must describe the exemptions in detail and justify their necessity.

You can then apply for the exemption.

The competent authority will examine your application and, if the examination is positive, will grant you the exemption.

The local jurisdiction generally depends on your place of residence or the registered office of your company.

In some cases, an additional permit in accordance with § 29 Para. 3 StVO or § 46 Para. 1 No. 5 StVO must be applied for if certain upper limits regarding weight, height or width are exceeded.
