Change motor vehicle registration number on request (re-marking)

  • General information

    It is possible to have a vehicle registered in Wolfsburg changed to a license plate of your choice for a fee - provided the license plate is free and available. Information on availability and possible license plate combinations can be found on the Internet at Wunschkennzeichen - Online.

    Short license plate combinations (for example WOB-A 1 etc. and also WOB-AA 1) can only be assigned if the necessity is determined during the presentation of the corresponding vehicle. Since there are a number of vehicles with limited space for the license plates and conversions are not always possible or reasonable and short identification numbers are only available to a limited extent, the Wolfsburg registration authority must regulate the allocation of short license plate combinations restrictively.

    Such requests can therefore not be considered via internet reservation. If you have any questions on this subject, please contact the Wolfsburg registration authority directly.

    For seasonal, vintage or electric license plates, the combination of numbers and letters must not exceed a total of 4 characters/placeholders.
    For a classic car license plate with seasonal entry, the combination of numbers and letters must not exceed a total of 3 characters/placeholders.

    The letter series HJ, KZ, NS, SA, SS as well as HH are generally not available.

    In order to prevent improper reservations, it is not possible to transfer the license plate to a third party.

    If you have lost a license plate or it has been stolen, you can have it changed. More about "Changing a license plate - after theft or loss".
