General information
The distinction between 'temporary' and 'permanent' immobilization no longer exists since 2007. A vehicle either has the status 'registered' or 'decommissioned'.
The registration office in charge of the license plate is automatically notified of the decommissioning. From there, a notification is sent to the main customs office and the vehicle insurance company.
However, the decommissioned vehicle may no longer be driven or parked on public roads.
The license plate can be reserved for 12 months for the re-registration of the vehicle to the same owner. Alternatively, the license plate can be reserved for another vehicle when the vehicle is taken out of service. In this case, the reservation period is three months. No reservation can be made for vehicles not registered in Wolfsburg.
However, there is no entitlement to allocation of the reserved license plate.
It is generally possible to deregister a vehicle without a power of attorney if all the necessary documents are submitted.
Since 2017, it has been possible to deregister vehicles online. Please note that different requirements apply here.

Online processing
Requirements and instructions for using the online deregistration:
- No identification of the owner required.
- Registration document Part I (formerly vehicle registration document) with security code. The last registration of the vehicle must not date back longer than 01.01.2015 so that the necessary security code is already present on the registration document Part I (formerly vehicle registration document).
- The invalidated registration document Part I is required for subsequent processes such as re-registration and must therefore be kept after the vehicle has been deregistered.
- License plates with stamp stickers with concealed security codes
- Bank details (IBAN)
Step by step: This is how it works:
- Call up the i-Kfz portal of the responsible registration authority.
- Enter the license plate number of the vehicle in the application mask of the i-Kfz-Portal.
- Uncover the security code of the registration certificate part I.
- Remove the cover from the stamp stickers on the license plate (note: as soon as the security codes are exposed, the license plate is invalid and the vehicle may no longer be used on the road).
- Enter the released security codes in the application mask of the i-Kfz-Portal.
- If necessary, reserve the license plate number if you wish to re-register the vehicle with the same license plate number in the same registration district at a later date.
- Application data is automatically validated.
- Pay the fee via an ePayment system; the payment method may vary depending on the responsible registration authority.
- Confirm entries and application.
- Application is automatically checked in real time.
- Confirmation of decommissioning immediately available online.
- The registration authority sends an information letter about the deregistration by post to the owner's address stored in the Central Vehicle Register (ZFZR).
If one of the steps is not completed successfully, you can contact the registration authority.
