Kraftfahrzeug: Wiederzulassung bei Halterwechsel beantragen

Would you like to use a deregistered vehicle on the road? As the new owner, you can re-register it for road use.

If you have purchased a vehicle and it is still deregistered, you must re-register it if you want to use it on the road.

This is a re-registration to another owner if there has been a change of owner. You can apply for this in person at the registration authority responsible for you or have a representative do it for you.

The license plate with the assigned license plate must be presented to the registration authority for stamping with a stamp sticker. The registration becomes effective when the allocated license plate has been stamped and the registration certificates have been issued.

• Registration certificate part I (vehicle registration document)
• Registration certificate part II (vehicle registration document)
• Valid electronic insurance confirmation (eVB)
• Valid main inspection and, if applicable, safety inspection
• valid identification document, e.g. identity card or passport of the vehicle owner; if the passport is presented, a current registration certificate is also required
• Account details for a SEPA mandate to collect the vehicle tax of the vehicle owner
• If available: completed application forms

If necessary, additional documents must also be submitted:

If you wish to use a new license plate:

• if already available: new (desired) license plate reserved in advance including PIN

If you are represented by a third party:

• written power of attorney and original identification document of the holder; the authorized person himself must be able to identify himself/herself with a valid identity card or passport.

In the case of re-registration for minors:

• the written declaration of consent of the legal guardians and their original identity cards; if applicable, a certificate of sole custody ("negative certificate") in the case of single parents

Depending on the individual case, the licensing authority may request further or other proof from you.

• The vehicle is currently out of service.
• There has been a change of keeper.
• You must not have any outstanding fees and expenses from previous registration processes of more than EUR 10.00.
• You must not have any vehicle tax debts of EUR 5.00 or more. This also includes late payment penalties, interest and late payment surcharges.

If you apply in person at the licensing authority, the application is usually processed immediately.

There is no deadline.
