Prerequisites

• The previous registration certificate Part I has been lost, stolen or damaged.
• If the vehicle in question is still registered, it must have a valid general inspection (HU).
  (If the general inspection report is no longer available, a duplicate copy of the report can be issued by the inspection organization to which the vehicle was presented.)

A replacement document can also be issued for vehicles that are not registered in Hamburg.

Documents required

• valid identity card, electronic residence permit (eAT) or passport with current confirmation of registration

• In case of theft:
  • Police report of theft or
  • Affidavit (this can also be taken on site at your appointment at the LBV)
  • If the vehicle owner was not himself stolen: an informal declaration of transfer from the owner confirming that the document was handed over to the person who was stolen from before the theft
• In case of loss:
  • Affidavit (this can also be taken on site at your appointment at the LBV)
  • If the vehicle owner has not lost the document himself: an informal declaration of surrender from the owner confirming that the document was handed over to the loser before the loss, as well as an affidavit from the loser

  • damaged document or
  • Affidavit if the document has become illegible (this can also be taken on site at your appointment at the LBV)

Companies and associations must also submit:

If an authorized person submits the application on your behalf, in addition:

• Original power of attorney with a color copy of the ID card of the principal or authorized representative

Please note

If your registration certificate, Part I, has been stolen, you must first report it to the police to receive a theft report. If you lose your registration certificate, Part I, or it has been damaged, you must personally provide a sworn statement. This can be done at your appointment at the LBV (Local Vehicle Registration Office) or in advance with a notary. A fee applies.

If your driver's license has also been lost or stolen, please book a separate appointment to apply for a new one. Further information can be found under the keyword "Replacement Driver's License" on our website.
