Individual type approval for vehicles without registration

Course description

certain vehicles or trailers are exempt from registration and do not require a licence plate. These are, for example, mopeds, small electric vehicles, self-propelled machines, special trailers for sports purposes or trailers for agricultural and forestry equipment. However, you need a valid operating licence before you are allowed to use these vehicles or trailers on public roads.

In most cases, the manufacturer issues the operating licence in the form of a general operating licence or EU operating licence; if this is available, you do not need to make any further arrangements; if no operating licence is available or if it has become invalid due to a technical modification, the vehicle registration office will issue you with an individual operating licence.

You will need an appointment at the vehicle registration office for this. You can book the appointment online or make an appointment by e-mail or telephone. The service telephone number is 089/233-96090.
