Name change in the vehicle documents

  • General

    If your name has changed, for example due to marriage, you must notify the vehicle registration authority of this change by submitting the registration certificate Part I and registration certificate Part II.

    Likewise, authorization is required if the company name has changed. Please remember that the name change must first be reported to the Ordnungsamt-Gewerbestelle.

    The tax authority (main customs office) is automatically informed about the name change.

    If the legal form of a company name also changes, a transfer with a change of holder must be carried out. For this purpose, please book an appointment using the service
