Motor vehicle license plate - seasonal license plate

• You must not have any overdue fees and expenses from previous registration processes. If you have arrears of more than 30 euros, the registration authority may not register your vehicle until you have paid them. If the amount is less than 30 euros, the registration authority may decide whether or not to register the vehicle anyway.
  
• You must not have vehicle tax debts of five euros or more. When calculating the amount, late fees, interest and late fees are also taken into account.
  
• If someone is to represent you in the registration of your vehicle, you must give this person a written power of attorney. This must also contain a declaration of consent that the registration authority may inform the authorized person of any overdue fees and expenses. Your proxy must present the power of attorney and provide identification.
  
• Make sure that the period of operation is only given in months and not in years.

You or your representative must apply for the seasonal license plate at the vehicle registration office.

An application related to seasonal license plates may entail various registration procedures for which you will also need documentation, such as

-  New registration of a motor vehicle
- Re-registration of a  motor vehicle in the event of a change of owner
- Re-registration of a  motor vehicle in the event of a move or relocation of operations

If the vehicle is already registered to the owner and is only to be changed from year-round license plates to seasonal license plates:

• Registration certificate part I / vehicle registration certificate
• Registration certificate part II / vehicle title
• If you have a financed / leased vehicle, the financing or leasing bank must send us the registration certificate part II by mail. The change can only take place after it has been sent. Please note that you must provide us with the number of your registration certificate Part II or the previous license plate number.
• electronic insurance confirmation number (eVB number)
• valid main inspection report
• identity card or passport
• previous registration number
• Authorized persons require a power of attorney for the change, their own ID and the ID of the person granting the power of attorney.

Although the vehicles do not have to be “put out of service” (deregistered), so the license plates are stamped for the entire year, seasonally registered vehicles may not be parked on public roads during the so-called rest period. The rest period is the period of time outside of the operating period noted on the license plate.

The operating period is noted both on the license plate and in the v license plate.
