Fahrzeugzulassung - Ein Fahrzeug auf eine andere Halterin oder einen anderen Halter wieder zulassen

Would you like to use a deregistered vehicle on the road? As the new owner, you can re-register it for road use.

If you have bought a vehicle and it is still deregistered, you must re-register it if you want to use it on the road.

This is a re-registration to another owner if there has been a change of owner. You can apply for this in person at the registration authority responsible for you or have a representative do it for you.

• Registration certificate part I (vehicle registration document)
• Registration certificate part II (vehicle registration document)
• Valid electronic insurance confirmation (eVB)
• Valid main inspection and, if applicable, safety inspection
• valid identification document, e.g. identity card or passport of the vehicle owner; if the passport is presented, a current registration certificate is also required
• Account details or SEPA mandate for collecting the vehicle tax of the owner
• If available: completed application forms

If necessary, the following must also be submitted:

If you wish to use a new license plate:

• if already available: new (desired) license plate reserved in advance including PIN

If you are represented by a third party:

• written power of attorney and original identification document of the holder; the authorized person himself must be able to identify himself/herself with a valid identity card or passport.

In the case of re-registration for minors:

• the written declaration of consent of the legal guardians and their original identity cards; if applicable, a certificate of sole custody ("negative certificate") in the case of single parents

Depending on the individual case, the licensing authority may request further or other proof from you.

• The vehicle is currently out of service.
• There has been a change of keeper.
• You have no outstanding fees and expenses from previous registration processes, otherwise registration may be refused
• You have no motor vehicle tax debts of 5 euros or more. This also includes late payment surcharges, interest and late payment penalties.

The fee is charged in accordance with the German Road Traffic Fee Regulations (GebOSt). The amount depends on various factors. Information can be obtained on a case-by-case basis from the local licensing authority.

If you apply in person at the licensing authority, the application is usually processed immediately.

There is no deadline.
