Once you have deregistered the vehicle, you may no longer move it on the road or park it in public areas.

You can submit the application in person or via your representativeor online at the responsible registration authority.

If you do not have your vehicle scrapped, you can usually have the vehicle's license plate reserved for later re-registration for up to one year.

Vehicles that have a license plate and are taken out of service do not automatically retain their license plate. The license plate is then released again by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) and can be assigned to another owner or vehicle. If you wish to use the license plates for a new registration, it is recommended that you have the license plates reserved in the course of decommissioning. The duration of the reservation for the purpose of re-registration is a maximum of twelve months, calculated from the date of decommissioning. You will receive written or electronic confirmation of the reservation and its duration.

After deregistration, you no longer have to pay insurance or taxes for the vehicle. The registration authority will inform your vehicle insurance company and the customs administration about the deregistration of your vehicle.

You want to apply to deregister your vehicle at the local registration authority:

You, as the owner or as the person authorized to dispose of the vehicle, go to the registration authority and take the registration plates and the registration certificate part I of the vehicle to which a registration plate has been assigned. The registration authority will note the decommissioning of the vehicle, stating the date, on the registration certificate part I and, if available, on the trailer registers, stamp the license plates and hand over the submitted documents again. Once these documents have been handed over, the decommissioning process is complete.

In the case of interchangeable license plates, the vehicle-related part bearing the stamped plate and, if no other vehicle remains registered with this license plate, the joint license plate part must also be submitted for de-stamping. You can then hand in the unstamped license plates for disposal or take them with you as a souvenir. The license plate itself is available again for allocation or assignment to another owner or vehicle when the vehicle is decommissioned. If you wish to use the license plates for a vehicle registration, it is recommended that you have the license plates reserved in the course of decommissioning.

On the day the vehicle is taken out of service, you may drive it home, to the dealer or to the scrap yard - even if the plates have been removed. This does not apply if your individual insurance policy has a clause that prohibits such journeys.

You instruct a person to have your vehicle taken out of service:

Give the authorized person a power of attorney with all relevant vehicle details, your name and signature. Your representative should have the registration certificate Part I, the license plates, the trailer list if applicable and, if necessary, the certificate of destruction of the vehicle with a license plate for which you are applying to have it taken out of service. It is advisable to provide the authorized person with your identity card.

You apply for deregistration online:

For the internet-based deregistration of a vehicle to which a license plate number has been assigned, proof of the cancellation of the license plate and the entry of the deregistration in the registration certificate part I of the registration authority is provided electronically via the internet.

However, this process is subject to certain conditions:

The vehicle must have been registered after January 1, 2015. Only from this date will all stamp plates and all registration certificates be provided with a security code, which is stored in the local and central vehicle register. In addition, an ID card with online function and an ID card reader are required to prove your identity. The fee is paid via an electronic payment system. The security codes of the stamp stickers and the registration certificate part I are concealed and can only be made visible by exposing the bottom layer of the stamp sticker and at the same time making the "out of service" marking on the registration certificate part I visible. Although the uncovered stamp sticker on the license plates and the marking on the registration certificate part I indicate that the vehicle has been taken out of service from the moment it is uncovered, the registration authority is legally responsible for taking the vehicle out of service by administrative act, as was previously the case. Only when you as the keeper and/or authorized person have sent the security codes to the registration authority will the registration authority issue the administrative act of decommissioning and notify you of this, stating the date of final processing on which the decommissioning will take effect. If you have specified a De-Mail account set up in your name in your application and have opened the electronic communication channel, the licensing authorities will send you their decision to decommission the vehicle by De-Mail. Otherwise, or if the electronic notification fails, the licensing authority will send you your written notification by post.

The following applies to all three options for decommissioning your vehicle: The registration authority automatically notifies the customs administration and the vehicle insurance company.

If your vehicle is classified as M1, N1 or L5e and you want to dispose of the vehicle as part of the decommissioning process, the following options are possible:

1. the vehicle is not disposed of as waste.
2. the vehicle is recycled
3. the vehicle is taken abroad for recycling.

In the first case constellation, you make a declaration to the registration authority that you will not dispose of your vehicle as waste.
In the second case, you present the registration authority with a certificate of destruction completed by a recognized body in accordance with Section 4 (1) of the End-of-Life Vehicles Ordinance, which you will then receive from the body if you have handed over your vehicle for recycling. In addition, you hand over the registration certificate Part I and Part II to the licensing authority immediately after the recovery. The licensing authority confiscates the registration certificate Part I and Part II and destroys them.
In the third case constellation, you submit a certificate of destruction completed by a recognized body in accordance with Article 5 (3) of Directive 2000/53/EC to the registration authority. The certificate of destruction is issued to you as the keeper and/or owner when you deliver and hand over your end-of-life vehicle to a recycling facility. The registration authority will also confiscate the registration certificate Part I and Part II and destroy them.
If you apply for deregistration using the internet-based procedure, recording the date of issue of the certificate of destruction and the company number of the domestic dismantling facility or the country in which the recycling facility is based replaces the submission of a certificate of destruction to the registration authority. The registration certificate Part I and Part II must then be sent to the registration authority without delay.

Processing is usually immediate.

There is no deadline.

The insurance contract is not automatically terminated when the vehicle is taken out of service. Rather, it is transferred to a non-contributory dormancy insurance for the following 18 months, during which insurance cover continues to exist with regard to motor vehicle liability and - if taken out - partial casco. However, the vehicle may not be used on public roads during this phase. If the vehicle is re-registered within the 18 months, the insurance cover applies again without restriction. An insurance confirmation must be requested from the insurance company for the re-registration. If the vehicle is not re-registered within the 18 months, the insurance contract expires automatically at the end of the 18 months without the need for termination.

Anyone disposing of, wishing to dispose of or having to dispose of a vehicle is obliged to hand it over only to a recognized collection point, a recognized take-back point or a recognized dismantling facility. The last holder receives a certificate of destruction in accordance with the model in Annex 9 FZV for submission to a registration authority. According to the End-of-Life Vehicles Ordinance, vehicle manufacturers are obliged to take back all end-of-life vehicles of their brand from the last holder. To this end, they must either individually or jointly create take-back facilities themselves or commission recognized take-back points or recognized dismantling facilities. Operators of dismantling facilities are obliged to hand over residual bodies only to a recognized shredder facility. Operators of collection points and take-back facilities are in turn obliged to hand over end-of-life vehicles only to a recognized dismantling facility.
