Registration certificate Part I Replacement
There is no general obligation to exchange the old vehicle registration document for the new registration certificate Part II . However, there must be no juxtaposition of old and new papers for a vehicle. It is exchanged automatically if a new vehicle registration document has to be issued anyway, e.g. because it has been lost. This applies regardless of whether the old vehicle registration document is still available or not. The vehicle registration document shall be destroyed and replaced by the Part I registration certificate .
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.
The main residence according to the identity card is decisive. In the case of legal persons, this is the registered office of the main establishment or the registered office of the branch.

Process flow
Problems are sometimes caused by the transfer of old information into the new papers. In principle, the new box 22 of the registration certificate Part I serves to take over the entries in the "Remarks" box of the former vehicle registration document. If there is not enough space, a supplement is issued, which is attached to the registration certificate Part I.
Check the correct transmission of all information when issuing the new papers and complain about any discrepancies as soon as possible. When the new papers are issued, have the old vehicle registration document handed over to you in order to have a document about the previous entries.
In the case of a false affidavit, penalties may occur according to §§ 156, 161 of the Criminal Code (StGB) and § 5 of the Road Traffic Act (StVG).
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
Deadlines may have to be observed. Please contact the competent authority.
