Appendix 1 Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV)
Annex 4 Section 2a Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV)

With a changeable license plate you can use the same license plate for two vehicles.

With a changeable license plate you can use two vehicles under the same license plate.

The allocation of changeable license plates is only possible for

• two vehicles of the same vehicle class, e.g. class M1,
• two two-wheeled or three-wheeled motor vehicles and light quadricycles,
• two trailers with a maximum permissible mass of up to 0.75 tonnes

The license plates consist of two parts: a replaceable common license plate part and a vehicle-specific license plate part. Together, the two parts form the complete license plate. The vehicle-specific part bears an identification number, so that each vehicle has its own specific license plate and can be clearly identified. A W is embossed on the common license plate part above the space for the stamping plate. The MOT stickers are affixed to the rear vehicle-specific license plate parts.

The application documents depend on the type of registration of your vehicles. Please refer to the respective entries for information.

These are two vehicles of the same vehicle class: either two passenger cars (vehicle class M1), two two- or three-wheeled vehicles (vehicle class L), or two trailers up to a maximum of 750 kg (vehicle class O1).

In addition to the registration fees for both vehicles (which vary depending on the type of registration), a fee for interchangeable license plates of EUR 6.00 per vehicle will be charged.
If you wish to use a personalized license plate, you will be charged twice the personalized license plate fee of currently EUR 10.20. The fee is based on the fee schedule for measures in road traffic (GebOSt).
