Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzPlates must comply with the legal provisions with regard to shape, size and design, including labelling.
Accordingly, reduced two-line plates (so-called light motorcycle plates) may only be assigned to light motorcycles and agricultural or forestry towing vehicles. Quads, even if they are coded as agricultural or forestry tractors, cannot be assigned a reduced two-line number plate because their characteristics (e.g. handlebars, bench seat, low axle load) do not correspond to the typical design of an agricultural tractor.
If it is not possible for a vehicle to assign a license plate that can be affixed to the space provided on the vehicle, the keeper is in principle obliged to make changes to the vehicle that allow the affixing of a regular number plate.
In cases of doubt, the registration authority may require the submission of an opinion of an officially recognised motor vehicle expert. If experts find that the affixing of a statutory registration plate to a motor vehicle requires disproportionate effort or is not technically possible, the registration authority may authorise an exemption for the use of a reduced two-line registration plate; this does not apply if it is no longer possible to affix a statutory number plate due to subsequent modifications or the addition of accessories.
A reduced two-line license plate must be applied for at the registration authority responsible for the place of residence (main residence within the meaning of the Federal Registration Act).
In the case of legal persons, traders and self-employed persons with a fixed place of business, the authority of the registered office or place of establishment involved is competent.
- valid identity card or passport with original of the last registration certificate of the place of residence; Foreign nationals need a valid identity document with a current registration certificate
- a power of attorney if an authorised representative makes a request for correction of the documents (the authorised representative's identity document and a copy of the vehicle owner's identity card are required)
- Registration certificate Part II (vehicle registration document)
- Insurance confirmation (eVB number)
- Test report of the last main inspection (HU)
- If applicable, an expert opinion from an officially recognized expert, confirming that the affixing of a statutory number plate is not possible due to the structural nature of the vehicle
for companies:
- additional business registration or excerpt from the commercial register
for clubs:
- additionally excerpt from the register of associations and identification of the responsible authorized signatory person(s) (board)
The amount of the fees may vary depending on the case constellation. Specific information on this can be obtained from the locally competent licensing authority.
Reduced two-line plates shall have a maximum width of 255 mm and a height of 130 mm. The registration authority may require the vehicle to be presented.
