Replace registration certificate I - loss, theft

The owner of the vehicle must submit the application for the issuance of a registration certificate Part I to the registration authority that assigned the registration number. A representative with a written power of attorney may also be appointed.

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.
