Registration of a brand-new vehicle imported from another EU country without a Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II (vehicle registration certificate, part II)
Zulassung eines aus dem EU-Ausland eingeführten fabrikneuen Fahrzeuges ohne Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
A new vehicle is to be registered that was purchased in a member state of the European Union or a signatory state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area without a Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II (vehicle registration certificate, part II).
A vehicle is considered new if it has never been registered before, either within Germany or abroad.
Registration is contingent on the declaration of participation in the SEPA direct debit procedure in cases where the vehicle is subject to tax, meaning that providing bank account details is mandatory!
It is possible to have a license plate of your choice reserved for the vehicle, provided that the plate is free and available.
All documents are generally required in original form.
