Change registration certificate I

The change must be applied for at the authority either in person or by a third party with written authorization. The representative must present the power of attorney and also an identity card or passport.

The registration authority automatically forwards any changes relevant to vehicle tax to the main customs office.

Attention:
If the vehicle was purchased or leased on credit and the financing bank or lessor has received the vehicle registration certificate or the registration certificate part II as security, the financing provider must be asked to send the document to the registration authority for amendment and as proof of authorization to dispose of the vehicle. The change can only be made once the document has been received by the authority.

Once the change has been made, the document will be returned to the financing authority.

Note: In the event of a change of address (after a move within Bremen without a change of owner), it is not necessary to submit the registration certificate part II.

More information

If the ZB II is in the possession of a third party (e.g. leasing bank), it must be sent to the licensing authority. The change can only be made once the document has been received by the authority. As a rule, the ZB II is available at the licensing authority 2 to 3 weeks after it is requested. After completion, it is returned to the sender. The costs for storage and return are usually borne by the holder.

Old documents remain valid until new ones need to be issued due to changes in the details. It is not possible to have an old vehicle registration certificate and a new registration certificate part II or an old vehicle registration document with a new registration certificate part I at the same time.

In the event of a change of address within the registration district, a new registration certificate Part I will be issued. If the vehicle still has old vehicle documents, the new address can be entered once in the old vehicle registration certificate. If the address has already been changed once in the vehicle registration certificate, new papers must be issued.

Technical changes - if necessary - must also be entered. This also leads to a reissue of the registration certificate Part I and Part II. If the vehicle still has an old vehicle registration document, the changes generally lead to a reissue of the registration certificates Part I and Part II.

Attention:
The change must be reported by the owner of the vehicle. If the owner and keeper of the vehicle are different persons, the keeper is also obliged to report the change.
