Allocation of classic car license plates (older than 30 years)
For vehicles that were first registered for circulation at least 30 years ago, a red license plate (red 07 license plate) can be applied for. The date of the first admission is decisive. Registration plates issued before 28 February 2007 and whose (possibly three-year) time limit expires before the vehicle in question is 30 years old are protected by vested rights.
The red 07 license plate is an alternative to the H license plate and is particularly worthwhile if you own several classic vehicles. With the issued ticket, the vehicles registered under the 07 number can be used as often as desired. The number of the license plate begins with "07".
Once the application has been received, it will be checked whether the applicant is personally reliable. To this end, the authority responsible for the applicant and the competent police authority shall be consulted. The competent authority will issue a vehicle registration booklet and a separate vehicle registration document for each vehicle, even if only a red number plate is requested. This means that only one of these vehicles is permitted in the case of one number plate (pair) and several vehicles. Any use of the license plate must be documented in the vehicle registration booklet and with a logbook for the respective vehicle.
The responsibility lies with the district and the district-free city in which you reside.
In this case, the main residence according to the identity card is decisive. In the case of legal entities, it is the registered office of the principal place of business or the seat of the branch.
