Vehicle Registration Number: Allocation of H License Plates for Historic Vehicles
"Historic" vehicles are those that were first registered for circulation at least 30 years ago. The date of the first admission is decisive.
The application must be submitted in person or by a person authorised in writing. Your insurance company and the main customs office will be informed by the competent authority about the allocation of the number plate.
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.
Vehicles are considered historic if they
- primarily serve the preservation of the cultural heritage of motor vehicles,
- not be used for commercial purposes,
- were first approved at least 30 years ago,
