Deregistering the vehicle (due to theft or embezzlement)

We will block the license plate and put it out to nationwide search.

When a vehicle is taken out of service, the tax and insurance obligation expires.

Requirements

Only vehicles registered in Bremen can be deregistered.

The owner of a vehicle must provide proof of the whereabouts of the license plates or the license plate. In the case of theft or misappropriation, this is done by presenting a certificate from the police confirming that a report has been filed.

Important: This is a service under municipal jurisdiction. Therefore, you can only go to a service that is located in your place of residence.

What documents do I need?

• Identity card or passport
• for representation with written power of attorney (informal)
  

  additionally: identity card or passport of the authorised representative (also as a copy)

• Proof of reporting to the police
  
  • In the event of license plate theft
• with deregistration for companies
  

  in addition:
  - extract from the commercial register (also as a copy)
  - informal written power of attorney, if the person authorized to represent the company does not personally submit the application on site

• Registration certificate part II (formerly: vehicle registration document)
  

  If the ZB II is in the possession of a third party (e.g. leasing bank), you must arrange for it to be sent to the licensing authority. You can find more information on this in the service description under "Further information".
