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.
