License plate number allocation


For some years now, it has been possible to obtain a license plate of your choice. Many competent authorities now offer online registration. This allows you to select the right license plate regardless of opening hours.

It can be reserved for

  • CAR/TRUCK
  • motorcycle
  • Seasonal and classic car license plates

Who should I contact?

Responsibility lies with the district and the independent city in which you have your residence.

The main residence according to the identity card is decisive. In the case of legal entities, it is the registered office of the main branch or the registered office of the branch.
