Rebrand

Procedure

The change of registration must be applied for by submitting the necessary documents. The application can also be submitted by a representative (e.g. car dealer) with a written power of attorney.

The insurance company is automatically informed by the registration authority about the allocation of the new license plate.

You can reserve appointments online at any time via www.service.bremen.de/dienststelle/termine or by telephone Mon-Fri from 07:00-18:00 on the following telephone numbers:

Vehicle registration authority: (0421) 361-88668 or (0421) 115

Citizen Service Center North: (0421) 361-88644 or (0421) 115

Tip:
License plates can be produced during the registration process. Private providers have set up near the registration authorities for this purpose. The costs for the plates are not included in the fees. The license plates are stamped by the registration authority, i.e. they are provided with stickers for the main inspection and the registration district.

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.
Power of attorney:

A power of attorney should appropriately include that the authorized representative is entitled to clarify any fee arrears and/or vehicle tax arrears.
