Applying for a vehicle to be taken out of service
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIf you want to deregister your vehicle, you must apply for it to be taken out of service. This also applies to trailers.
Once you have deregistered the vehicle, you may no longer move it on the road or park it in public areas.
You can submit the application in person or through your representative to the relevant registration authority.
If you do not have your vehicle scrapped, you can usually have the vehicle's license plate reserved for later re-registration for up to one year.
Contact your licensing authority.
The district administrations and city administrations of the independent cities and, in some cases, the large cities belonging to the district are responsible.
You can take your vehicle out of service
- if you intend to sell it,
- if you are temporarily not using it or
- if you have it scrapped.
- if available: completed application form
- Registration certificate part I (vehicle registration certificate), if applicable with trailer list
- License plates
If the vehicle is scrapped, the following must also be submitted
- Proof of utilization or
- Declaration of whereabouts if the vehicle is being disposed of abroad
- Registration certificate part II (vehicle registration document), if this has been issued
