Online - new registration of a vehicle

With the 3rd stage of internet-based vehicle registration, it will be possible for private individuals to register a new vehicle online from 01.10.2019.

After a successful application, the registration authority issues the registration certificate part I + II as well as the seal sticker(s) on sticker carrier(s) and sends the registration documents to the applicant.

The sticker holder(s) must be affixed to the license plate(s) by the holder. Corresponding instructions are enclosed with the letter from the licensing authority.
In the event that the check of the Internet-based application reveals that one of the registration requirements is not met, the applicant will be informed of this on the screen and can correct it if necessary.

It is not possible to register a new vehicle online:

• if there is no registration certificate part II with a concealed security code for the vehicle (issued after 31.12.2017).
• if a registration is to be carried out using the multi-stage procedure.
• if a registration is to be carried out in connection with an expert opinion / technical modification
• if the technical vehicle data cannot be retrieved from the Federal Motor Transport Authority because it has not been stored in the database.
• if the vehicle comes from abroad or has already been registered there.

Reserve a license plate:
If you would like to have a preferred license plate, you must do this via the link to "Internet-based vehicle registration". You will find the link under "Further information" - Online service" - "Online vehicle registration - i-Kfz". This is the only way to generate the required PIN.
