Registration of vehicles for passenger transport (taxis, rental cars with driver, patient transport)
Zulassung von Fahrzeugen zur Personenbeförderung (Taxen, Mietwagen, Krankentransporte)
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Registration as a taxi, or use as a rental car (Mietwagen) or as a vehicle for patient transport, can be taken into account as part of the registration matter. There is a legal obligation to declare such use and to have it entered in Teil I of the Zulassungsbescheinigung (vehicle registration certificate).
Note: If you wish to have the vehicle's use changed after registration has taken place, the deadline for the next Hauptuntersuchung (main inspection) must be shortened. The period between a Hauptuntersuchung already carried out and a new one is one year.
