Fahrzeugschein ersetzen

If your vehicle registration document is lost or stolen, you will need a replacement for it.

If a vehicle registration document was still issued for the vehicle, the registration certificate Part I is issued as a replacement. It is not permissible to have the new registration certificate Part I (formerly: vehicle registration document) and the old vehicle registration document at the same time. The old vehicle registration document must be exchanged for the new registration certificate Part II.

Note:
If the vehicle registration document that was thought to have been lost is found again after the replacement document has been issued, the document that has been found again must be handed in to the registration authority without delay.

• Valid identity card, passport or electronic residence permit (eAT) as well as the original national passport of the vehicle owner applying for the permit
• in case of representation with written power of attorney

  additionally: identity card or passport of the authorised representative

• Registration certificate part II or old vehicle registration document
• if necessary, additional confirmation from the police of the theft report
• valid test report on a general inspection

  e.g. TÜV, DEKRA, GTÜ, KÜS, GTS, FSP

• if registered to companies

  additionally:
  - Current and valid business registration and, if available, current and valid excerpt from the commercial register (also as a copy)
  - Power of attorney, if the person authorized to dispose does not personally submit the application on site

Notification of theft or confirmation of loss

The owner of the vehicle must submit the application for the issuance of a registration certificate Part I to the registration authority that assigned the registration number. A representative with a written power of attorney may also be appointed.

The registration authority may require an affirmation in lieu of an oath as to the whereabouts of the vehicle registration certificate.
