Motor Vehicle - Apply for a Tageszulassung (one-day registration)
Kraftfahrzeug - Tageszulassung beantragen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Due to the reissuance of the Fahrzeug-Zulassungsverordnung (FZV, Vehicle Registration Regulation), it has been possible since 01.09.2023 to apply for the first registration of a vehicle in the form of a Tageszulassung (day registration). The vehicle is automatically taken out of service at the end of the day on which the day registration took effect (day of registration = day the vehicle is taken out of service).
Since the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I (vehicle registration certificate part I) is invalidated as part of the registration procedure and the license plates are not sealed, the following conditions apply for taking part in public road traffic on that day:
• The license plates must be affixed to the vehicle in the designated position.
• The vorläufiger Zulassungsnachweis (provisional registration certificate) issued to you as part of the registration must be displayed in the vehicle so that it is clearly legible.
• The Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I must be carried in the vehicle and handed over to authorized persons for inspection upon request.
• or (if using the online procedure): Instead of the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I, a clearly legible printout of the retrieved automated decision on the provisional registration must be carried and handed over to authorized persons for inspection upon request.
