Applying for export license plates for imported brand-new vehicles from abroad without vehicle registration certificate or registration certificate part II

  • General information

    A brand-new vehicle is one that has never been registered within Germany or abroad. Anyone transferring their vehicle abroad to remain there requires an export license plate.

    The vehicles must be presented to the registration authority before the export license plate is issued.

    After the expiration of the validity period (15 days to 1 year - depending on the insurance contract and individual decision of the authority), the vehicle may no longer be operated on public roads.

    It is additionally pointed out that for applicants without residence in Germany, the data of a receiving agent with residence in Wolfsburg must be proven and recorded.

    Attention:
    If the registration is made to a foreign company, please present the business registration with translation.
