    Vehicles must be presented to the registration authority before the export license plate is issued.
    After expiry 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.
    Prior decommissioning (deregistration) is no longer required. In the case of registered vehicles, however, the previous license plates must be presented.

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