Online - Re-registration without change of holder


Due to nationwide regulations, the online portal for digital vehicle registrations (iKfz) had to be deactivated on January 1, 2024. The vehicle registration office does not currently offer online services. Work is currently underway to resume digital services. In the meantime, the analog services of the vehicle registration office are available to you. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Since 01.10.2017, it has been possible to restore vehicles subject to registration to the same owner, within the framework of the 2nd stage i-Kfz internet-based. The Bremen registration authority provides an online portal for this purpose.

After a successful application, the registration authority issues the new registration certificate Part I and the seal sticker(s) on sticker holder(s) and sends the registration documents including the fee notice to the applicant. The sticker carrier(s) must be affixed to the license plate(s) by the holder(s). Appropriate instructions are enclosed with the letter from the licensing authority.

In the event that the check of the Internet-based application should reveal that one of the registration requirements for re-registration is not met, the person making the application will already be informed of this on the screen and can correct it if necessary

Reserving a personalized license plate:
If you would like to have a desired license plate, you must do so via the link "Reserve a desired license plate for Bremen". You will find the link under "Further Information" - Online Service" - "Reserve a personalized license plate for Bremen". This is the only way to generate the required PIN.
