Motor vehicle re-registration
As a vehicle owner, register your vehicle to a new address and apply for a new vehicle registration numberif you move your residence to another municipality.
Re-labelling (assignment of a new number plate) may be waived if the vehicle is changed within registration areas where the same distinguishing marks are kept. This applies only to the cities and counties or the regions of Göttingen, Hanover, Oldenburg and Osnabrück. As things stand, there are no plans to extend the relabelling waiver to other approval areas.
The obligation to change the name of the vehicle owner to another registration area, as stipulated in the Vehicle Registration Ordinance, was lifted on 01.01.2015. Vehicle owners can now decide for themselves whether they want to continue to keep the previous number plate or whether to have a new one allocated to them when changing their residence within the federal territory. It should be noted that the obligation to notify the competent authority of the change of residence remains and that a modification of the registration certificate Part I (vehicle certificate) is still required.
For further information, please contact the competent body.
If you are already in possession of the Registration Certificate Part II and there is still room for registration, the change will be made there. If you still have a vehicle letter, a new Registration Certificate Part II will be issued. In any case, you will receive a new registration certificate Part I.
The responsibility lies with the district, the district-free city and the municipality, the velvet municipality and the city entrusted with this task.
The main residence is decisive according to the identity card. In the case of legal persons, this is the place of business of the principal or the registered office of the branch.
