Ausnahmegenehmigung für Fahrzeuge und Fahrzeugkombinationen beantragen

Vehicles that do not comply with the construction and operating regulations of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations require a special permit to drive on public roads.

Vehicles that do not comply with the construction and operating regulations of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) require a special permit to participate in public road traffic.

In principle, exemptions may only be approved if all reasonable possibilities for complying with the provisions of the StVZO and the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) have been fully exhausted.

They may only be approved to the extent that is absolutely necessary for the intended purpose (strict standard); no exemption may be granted for economic reasons alone.

The exemptions can generally be granted for a period of validity of up to 12 years; they can also be limited to three, six or nine years.

The exemption permits must be obtained by the vehicle owner, carried along when driving and handed over to the responsible persons for inspection on request.

The vehicle/part to be approved must already exist. Pre-approval is not possible due to the need for a technical inspection.

• Specification of the holder data
• For new applications:an expert opinion (not older than 18 months) for obtaining an exemption permit in accordance with § 70 StVZO from an officially recognized expert for motor vehicle traffic or from a technical service recognized in accordance with § 30 of the EC Vehicle Approval Regulation (EG-FGV) for testing complete vehicles of the respective vehicle class
• To extend an existing exemption permit: Copy of the old §70 STVZO exemption permit, an expert opinion may have to be submitted subsequently
• To supplement or amend an existing exemption permit: Supplementary report not older than 18 months (if towing vehicles or trailers other than those listed in the exemption permit, stating the vehicle identification number, are to be used in vehicle combinations such as trains or articulated vehicles, a supplement to the exemption permit is required)
• To transfer an existing exemption permit: Existing exemption permit with the corresponding expert opinion and the registration certificates
• Registration certificate or operating license of the vehicle combination
• Old exemption permit, if applicable
• Insurance certificate, if applicable
• Authorization if the application is made on behalf of a third party

As a general rule, exemptions may only be approved if all reasonable options for complying with the provisions of the StVZO and the FZV have been fully exhausted.

The amount of the fee is based on the scale of fees for road traffic measures (GebOSt). There, a framework fee of EUR 10.20 to EUR 511.00 is set for each decision on an exemption from a provision of the StVZO per exemption case and per vehicle/owner; if several vehicles of the same design are present at the time of application, a reduced fee may be set. The exact amount of the fee depends on the processing effort and economic advantage for the applicant in each individual case; the determination is at the discretion of the authority.

The amount of the fee also depends, among other things, on the period of validity. When submitting your application, you must therefore state the desired period of validity.

• You can apply for the exemption in writing or online.
• Before you can apply for an exemption for a vehicle, you need an expert opinion from an officially recognized expert for motor vehicle traffic or a technical service recognized in accordance with Section 30 of the EC Vehicle Approval Regulation (EG-FGV) for testing complete vehicles of the respective vehicle class.
