If a vehicle registration document was still issued for the vehicle, the registration certificate Part I is issued as a replacement. It is not permissible to have the new registration certificate Part I (formerly: vehicle registration document) and the old vehicle registration document at the same time. The old vehicle registration document must be exchanged for the new registration certificate Part II. 

Note: 

If the registration certificate Part I that was thought to have been lost is found again after the replacement document has been issued, the document that has been found again must be handed in to the registration authority without delay.

    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.
