Motor vehicle license plates - transferring license plates when purchasing a vehicle (transferring a non-local license plate)

If you have purchased a vehicle, you can take the previous license plate with you when you re-register the vehicle to Stuttgart from another registration district.

Note: The re-registration to private individuals can be done within Stuttgart at any citizens' office. This does not apply to vehicles that require special license plates, such as light motorcycles, as these are not in stock at the citizens' registration offices.

Note: The transfer to companies is only possible at the vehicle registration office.
