Questions & Answers

Yes, please make an appointment directly online for a personal appointment.
Please bring your ID/passport and, if applicable, a declaration of loss issued by the police with you to the appointment.

No, representation by an authorised representative is possible. An informal power of attorney with identification of the person granting the power of attorney and the authorised representative is sufficient. When applying by e-mail, please attach this evidence.

In the case of partnerships (e.g. BGB companies, OHG, KG), each partner authorised to manage the company (also individually) can apply for the duplicate as a trader.

In the case of legal entities (e.g. GmbH, AG), the obligation to apply lies with the legal representatives (e.g. managing director of a GmbH).

As soon as there are changes in your company, a duplicate is no longer possible.

In these cases, please use our online service for business re-registration.

Please inform us informally by e-mail of any voluntary and sensible changes, such as a change of managing director, a switch from a sideline to a main occupation or the partial discontinuation of existing activities.

In principle, it is possible to come in person after making an appointment.

When applying for a duplicate travelling trade licence, please always make an appointment for a personal visit.
