Tip:
License plates can be produced during the registration process. Private providers have set up near the registration authorities for this purpose.

More information

• If the ZB II is in the possession of a third party (e.g. leasing bank), it must be sent to the licensing authority. The change can only be made once the document has been received by the authority. As a rule, the ZB II is available at the licensing authority 2 to 3 weeks after it is requested. After completion, it is returned to the sender. The costs for storage and return are usually borne by the holder.
• An amendment to the Motor Vehicle Tax Act came into force on July 1, 2010. The following changes apply to registrations from July 1, 2010:
