Questions & Answers
Once we have prepared your application, the next step is to buy the licence plates. There are several private providers in the vicinity of the registration office. You will have to pay the price for the licence plates separately. These costs are not included in the fees. You must present the application to the manufacturer as proof of your authorisation.
You must then come back to us so that we can affix the official stickers to the licence plates and stamp them.
You have the option of reserving a licence plate of your choice.
