Kfz Anmeldung, Oldtimer

Historic license plate - black license plate
As a motor vehicle cultural asset, vehicles that are over 30 years old have a special status under German law. You enjoy tax benefits and can be driven with a special classic car license plate. It works like a normal license plate, but always ends with an H (for historical).

Red license plates for classic cars
You can also apply for red license plates for classic cars. These are not for daily use, but can be used, for example, for short trips to take part in traditional events (e.g. old-timer meetings). For more information, see red markings.
