Replace vehicle registration certificate part II (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II) for a motor vehicle due to loss or theft
Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II für KFZ wegen Verlust oder Diebstahl ersetzen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
The loss or theft of the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II (vehicle registration certificate part II) must be reported to the locally responsible Zulassungsbehörde (vehicle registration authority).
The authority notifies the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA, Federal Motor Transport Authority) where the requirements are met. The KBA declares the lost or stolen Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II, or Fahrzeugbrief (vehicle title document), invalid, subject to a deadline for it to be presented (Aufbietungsverfahren, public notice procedure). New vehicle documents can be issued, and any change of owner carried out, only after the Aufbietungsverfahren has ended (approximately 3 weeks after the procedure is initiated).
Note: For registrations before 10/2005, the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I (ZB I) is called the Fahrzeugschein (vehicle registration certificate) and the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II (ZB II) is called the Fahrzeugbrief (vehicle title document). The ZB I and ZB II are EU-harmonized vehicle documents, which you receive when you report the loss of a Fahrzeugschein or Fahrzeugbrief.

Requirements

• Presentation of the Fahrzeugschein (vehicle registration document) or the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I (vehicle registration certificate part I)
To issue the new Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II, the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I must be presented, as this must also be withdrawn and replaced.

In that case, the original document must be submitted. Finally, the person concerned may also draw up the declaration in writing themselves and hand it to the registration authority.
