Deadlines may have to be observed. Please contact the competent authority.

Applications / forms

If an application form is necessary, it can be obtained in advance from the competent authority and filled out at home. Depending on the offer of the competent authority, the application can also be submitted as an online service via the Internet.

What else should I know?

If the conditions for a green number plate are no longer met, a motor vehicle tax can be assessed by the main customs office. From this point on, the green license plate is invalid and must be changed to black.

If you would like to reserve a license plate of your choice, this can be done in person, in writing or by telephone as well as as as an online service via the Internet, depending on the offer of the responsible authority, even before the new registration.
