Vehicle License Plate Replacement
Damaged or illegible license plates must be replaced immediately.
Who should I contact?
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.
