Apply for registration certificate part II
Source: Serviceportal Rheinland-PfalzYou may only use a vehicle subject to registration on public roads if it has been approved for this purpose by the responsible registration authority.
The registration certificate part II proves that you are authorized to dispose of your vehicle. However, it does not constitute proof of ownership. For example, if you have leased or financed the vehicle, you are not the owner. You need the registration certificate Part II if, for example, you want to sell a vehicle:
- want to sell
- want to finance
- need to re-register
If you buy a new vehicle, you will usually receive a pre-filled form of the registration certificate part II from the manufacturer.
If you buy a used vehicle, you will receive the registration certificate part II together with the purchased vehicle. You then have it transferred to your name when you re-register the vehicle.
If you purchase a vehicle from abroad, apply for the registration certificates Part I and Part II together.
In the past, the vehicle registration document fulfilled the function of the registration certificate Part II. If there is still an old vehicle registration certificate for your vehicle, it remains valid.
In contrast to the registration certificate Part I, you should not carry the registration certificate Part II with you while driving. You should keep the registration certificate part II in a safe place.
