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.
  • An amendment to the Motor Vehicle Tax Act came into force on July 1, 2010. The following changes apply to registrations from July 1, 2010: 
    - When registering a vehicle, a SEPA direct debit mandate is required for the collection of vehicle tax. A SEPA direct debit mandate issued for the first taxation is also valid for subsequent years.
  • Vehicles with this registration number are tax-privileged and are subject to a flat-rate vehicle tax of 46.02 euros for motorcycles or 191.73 euros for all other vehicles.
  • Vehicle tax exemption or reduction due to severe disability: 
    Severely disabled people with the "H", "BI" or "aG" mark on their severely disabled person's pass continue to be exempt from vehicle tax. They do not have to submit a direct debit authorization based on the proof in their ID card. 
    Further information can be obtained from the main customs office in Bremen.
  • Electronic insurance confirmation (eVB): 
    You can obtain the confirmation of insurance for motor vehicle liability insurance from the insurance company of your choice. In most cases, you can request the insurance confirmation by telephone from your insurance company.
  • Since March 1, 2008, the insurer can provide you with an insurance confirmation with a 7-digit alphanumeric VB number, which the registration authority uses to retrieve the insurance data electronically from the central database of the German Insurance Association.
