Applying for the first registration of a vehicle from a third country (new registration)

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

If you have purchased a used vehicle in a country outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), you need a registration in order to use it on German roads.

Your vehicle is considered a used vehicle if it was already registered in the country of origin and therefore had at least one previous owner.

You or your representative apply for registration at the local vehicle registration authority.

Vehicles with an EC type approval comply with the European directives for the approval of vehicles, their components and systems. If you can present a certificate of conformity for the EC type approval, the so-called CoC document, this simplifies the registration process.

Once the vehicle has been registered, you can drive it on public roads and park it in public areas.

All newly registered or re-registered vehicles receive a license plate with a Euro field. You have the option of reserving a license plate of your choice for the vehicle if it is free and available.
