Kfz-Schein bzw. Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I, Ersatz bei Beschädigung, Diebstahl oder Verlust

In the event of damage, theft or loss of the registration certificate Part I (vehicle registration), a new replacement document can be issued by the Landesbetrieb Verkehr (LBV).

If you want to sell your vehicle and the registration certificate part I (vehicle registration) has been lost, you should apply for a new registration certificate part I from the LBV and give it to the buyer.

• a valid identity card or an electronic residence permit (eAT) or passport with current confirmation of registration
• a declaration of consent from all legal guardians in the case of persons who are not fully legally competent
• the registration certificate part II (vehicle registration document)
• proof of a valid general inspection (HU) (not necessary for new vehicles that are not older than 3 years)
• if the document is damaged beyond recognition: Declaration in lieu of an oath
• the appointment confirmation

Additionally:

In case of theft:

• theft report from a police station
• If the vehicle owner was not himself stolen: A declaration of transfer from the owner confirming that the document was handed over to the person who was stolen from before the theft
• the declaration on oath, only if no report of theft can be presented

In case of loss:

• the declaration under oath (can also be made to a notary)

• an affidavit of the loser
• a declaration of transfer from the holder confirming that the document was handed over to the loser before the loss
• Power of attorney for application / issuance (see additional documents under Authorized Representative) in original

• the declaration under oath
• Damaged vehicle registration document or registration certificate part I

if an authorized representative submits the application on your behalf

• the legibly completed power of attorney in the original with the legible color copy of the principal's ID card. Note: The color copy must be marked "COPY".
• the authorized representative's ID card in the original

Please note: The authorized representative cannot make the declaration of loss on behalf of the person granting the power of attorney. The declaration must normally be made by the vehicle owner himself.

Companies or associations must also submit the following documents:

• a company/association certificate with a Hamburg address (e.g. a commercial register extract or an association register extract)

if an authorized representative submits the application:

• the power of attorney in the original with the legible color copy of the authorized person's ID card

Please note: The authorized representative cannot make the declaration under oath regarding the loss on behalf of the person granting the power of attorney.

Please also note the information under the heading "Please note".

As a rule, a declaration under oath will have to be requested, which can be made in person at the LBV and is subject to a fee.
A new registration certificate part I (ZBI) can then be applied for at the LBV, and new HU stickers will also be issued in the process.
