Replace motor vehicle license plates due to illegibility or damage

If the license plates of your vehicle are damaged (e.g. due to an accident), have become illegible over time or if a sticker (stamp sticker or inspection sticker) has become detached from the license plate, a new sticker must be affixed to the existing or new license plates.

At the request of the owner of a motorcycle, the previous license plate can also be replaced with the new motorcycle license plate.
