Taxi or hire car registration

Would you like to register or re-register a taxi or hire car for the first time? Then you must fulfil certain requirements.

Description

You have the option of reserving a special licence plate.
Vehicle registration services and dealers can only obtain their service directly from the vehicle registration authority (not from the commercial motor traffic department). The documents to be submitted may differ in this case.
If the vehicle is financed and you do not receive the original registration certificate part II and the EC declaration of conformity, the registration can only be carried out at the registration authority (not at Gewerblicher Kraftverkehr).

  • You are registered with your place of business in Munich.
  • You already have German vehicle documents for the vehicle.

  • eVB (electronic insurance confirmation), which also covers the risk of commercial passenger transport
  • EC Declaration of Conformity (COC) for vehicles with EC type approval
  • Registration certificate part II (previously vehicle registration document)
