Registration of a brand-new vehicle imported from a foreign country of the EU

  • General information

    A new vehicle is to be registered that was acquired in a state of the European Union or a state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area without a registration certificate Part II.
    A new vehicle is one that has never been registered within Germany or abroad.
    It is possible to assign a license plate of your choice to the vehicle for a fee - provided that the license plate is free and available. Information on availability and possible license plate combinations can be found on the Internet at Wunschkennzeichen - Online.
    If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact us in advance and send us scanned documents so that we can assess the registration requirements.
