Apply for a World Manufacturer Identification Number (WMI) for manufacturers of motor vehicles and trailers with administrative headquarters in Germany

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

The Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) assigns a World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) to vehicle manufacturers that have their administrative headquarters in Germany.

This number is part of the 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) and is used to uniquely identify the manufacturing company of a vehicle. For vehicle manufacturers with an EU type approval, a VIN including the global manufacturer number is mandatory

You must submit an application so that the KBA can assign you a new WMI. The allocation is subject to a fee.

If you have acquired another vehicle manufacturer's company and would like to take over its WMI, you can also apply for this.
