Apply for export license plates for imported used vehicles from 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.
Prior decommissioning is no longer required. In the case of registered vehicles, however, the previous license plates must be presented.

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