Fahrzeugzulassung - Die Ausstellung einer Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I beantragen

If you want to use a vehicle on public roads, you must always carry the registration certificate part I (formerly vehicle registration document) with you.

You may only use a vehicle subject to registration on public roads if it has been registered by the responsible registration authority.

Proof of registration is the registration certificate part I, which you must therefore always carry with you and hand over to the responsible persons on request.

The registration certificate part I contains the most important information about the vehicle and is the main identification document for traffic checks.

It is an EU-wide document. If you still have an old registration certificate for your vehicle, it remains valid.

The requirements for the registration of a vehicle must be met.

The issuing of a registration certificate part I is subject to a fee.

Information on the amount of the fee can be obtained from your local vehicle registration authority.

Check that all data is entered correctly when the registration certificate Part I is issued and complain about any discrepancies as soon as possible.

If there is still an old vehicle registration certificate for the vehicle, the data will be transferred from there to the registration certificate part I. When the new papers are issued, have the old registration certificate validated and handed over to you so that you have a document showing the previous entries.
