Modify registration certificate I - technical modification

Procedure

The change must be applied for at the authority either in person or by a third party with written power of attorney. The representative must present the power of attorney and also the identity card or passport.

The registration authority automatically passes on changes relevant to vehicle tax to the main customs office.

Attention:
If the vehicle was purchased or leased on credit and the financing bank or the lessor has received the vehicle title or the registration certificate part II as security, the financing provider must be asked to send the document to the registration authority for amendment and proof of the right of disposal. Only when the document has been received by the authority can the amendment be made.

After the amendment has been made, the document is returned to the financing authority.
