What do I need for online registration?

1. Valid identification document (ID card, passport, or residence permit) 2. Vehicle documents (Registration Certificate Part 1 & Part 2) 3. Vehicle license plates 4. Car insurance (eVB number) 5. License plate reservation code (if desired)

How does the process work?

First, the required data such as personal details, vehicle documents, and insurance proof are entered online. Then, an expert carefully reviews the details. This review may take some time as we want to ensure that all documents are correct and complete. After that, the registration application is digitally signed. The application is then automatically forwarded to the relevant registration office. Once approved, you will receive a provisional registration confirmation. The final documents and registration seals will be sent by mail. Our guided registration service supports you step by step: from submitting the documents to the final registration, we are always there to assist you. Finally, you stick the seals onto the plates and store the documents securely.

How long does the registration take?

The online registration takes only a few minutes. Once you receive the temporary registration confirmation and attach the appropriate license plates, you can start driving immediately. The final documents and license plate seals will be delivered within 10 days by post. Until then, you can drive with the printed temporary registration confirmation placed on the windshield.

What processes can be done online?

- Reregistration with owner change (after purchasing a vehicle) - Reregistration without owner change (address change after moving) - Reactivation of a currently deregistered vehicle - Deregistration

What is the cost of online registration/reregistration?

The registration/reregistration costs from €134.90, including all fees at the registration office. If you want a reserved custom license plate, an additional €12.80 fee applies.

Will I receive confirmation?

Yes, after successful registration, you will receive a temporary registration confirmation as a PDF, allowing you to drive immediately. The final documents will be sent to you by post.

Which vehicles can I register online?

It is essential that the last registration/reregistration of your vehicle occurred after January 1, 2015. From this date, the new seal stickers and registration certificates with security codes, which are required for online registration, were introduced.

Are the physical license plates included in the registration?

No. The registration covers the registration documents, the registration seals and the TÜV sticker – the registration office sends these to you by post. The physical plates themselves are not included. You can order them conveniently in our plate shop (from €11.97 incl. shipping) or buy them from any plate dealer and attach the seals yourself.
