Please note

• You may keep your license plate number. The address change will then only be reflected in your vehicle documents (registration certificate part I). Re-registration is voluntary.
• If you don't wish to take your license plate with you, you still have the option of applying for a new license plate. Additional fees apply for personalized license plates.
• If multiple vehicles are affected, the documents can also be submitted to the counter for commercial customers at the locations. Prior contact via kfz-zulassung@lbv.ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú is required to coordinate the next steps.
• If your vehicle has a particulate matter sticker, it may become invalid due to new license plates. If you plan to drive in low-emission zones and don't have an exemption, you should also apply for a new particulate matter sticker when re-registering.
