Ein Fahrzeug auf eine andere Halterin oder einen anderen Halter wiederzulassen

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 general 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 must not have any outstanding fees and expenses from previous registration processes of more than EUR 30.
• You must not have any vehicle tax debts of EUR 5 or more. This also includes late payment penalties, interest and late payment penalties.
  

Fees for re-registration are charged by the registration authorities on the basis of the German Road Traffic Fee Regulations (GebOSt).

You can apply for re-registration (in the event of a change of owner) online or in person at your local registration authority.

Applying in person:

• Find out from your local registration authority whether a form is available for download. Ask what documents you need for the procedure.
• Go to your local registration authority with the completed form and the required documents.
• If you would like to keep the existing license plate on your vehicle, you can do so nationwide. If you do not wish to make use of the license plate transfer, you can continue to apply for a preferred license plate.
  • Tip: If you need new license plates, you can contact private providers. You will usually find these near the registration authority
• When a new license plate is issued, the registration authority will affix the sticker (main inspection and new stamp sticker) to your new license plate.
• If your vehicle has a fine dust sticker, it will become invalid due to the new license plates. If you want to drive in environmental zones and do not have a special permit, you should also apply for a new fine dust sticker when you re-register.

Online procedure:

• Go to the online portal of your local registration authority.
• Identify yourself there with your new electronic ID card (nPA) or electronic residence permit (eAT) with activated online ID function.
• Enter the necessary data in the application mask of the portal.
• Pay the fees using the e-payment system (payment methods vary depending on the responsible registration authority).
• If previous license plates are retained:
  • The application is automatically checked in real time.
  • The registration certificate is immediately made available online and can be retrieved within 30 minutes.
  • Your vehicle is re-registered when you retrieve the registration certificate. You can put it into operation.
  • Print out the registration certificate and keep it in your vehicle until you receive the registration certificate Part I.
  • You will receive the registration certificate part I and II as well as an information letter from your registration authority by post.
• If you are applying for new license plates:
  • The application will be checked by a clerk.
  • You will receive the registration certificate, the fee notice, the registration certificate parts I and II, the stamp sticker and the sticker for the main inspection (HU) to be affixed to the license plate by post from the registration authority.
  • Your vehicle is then re-registered. Once you have received the registration documents, you can put the vehicle into operation.
