Fahrzeugschein ersetzen / Bremerhaven

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.

Notification of theft or confirmation of loss

Important: This is a service under municipal jurisdiction. You can therefore only go to a service that is located in your place of residence.

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.
