Who should I contact?
The responsibility lies with the district, with the district-free city and with the municipality, joint municipality and city entrusted with this task.

Process flow
The vehicle was presented to a technically competent person (e.g. TÜV, DEKRA, GTÜ, KÜS, SAVAG) and the modification was examined. If the change does not have to be entered in the papers, this is noted on the TÜV report.
The application shall be submitted to the competent body in person or by a person authorised in writing.
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
Deadlines may have to be observed. Please contact the competent authority.
What else should I know?
Before installation or conversion, ask an officially recognised expert for motor vehicle traffic or a test engineer from a monitoring organisation whether the operating licence is impaired or whether the modification can be approved at all.
