### How quickly do I have to have the vehicle re-registered?

 

If you move to another registration area, you are obliged to change the registration of your vehicle **immediately** . The law stipulates 14 days.  
 You can [re-register](https://www.buergerserviceportal.de/bayern/muenchen/bsp_ikfz_antragstellung) your vehicle [online](https://www.buergerserviceportal.de/bayern/muenchen/bsp_ikfz_antragstellung), in person on site (only possible with an [appointment](https://stadt.muenchen.de/buergerservice/terminvereinbarung.html#/services/1064314/locations/10308013) ) or together with the [registration of your place of residence](https://stadt.muenchen.de/service/info/wohnsitz-anmeldung-mit-aenderung-der-fahrzeugpapiere/10224132/n0/).

   
### Do I also have to re-register the vehicle if I only live in another city temporarily?

 

If the stay in the other city lasts a maximum of three months, the vehicle does not have to be re-registered. However, it is necessary to inform your own registration authority (where the vehicle was registered) about the temporary change of residence.

   
### Do I get the new licence plates as soon as I change my registration?

 

When we have finished preparing your registration application, you can buy the licence plates next. There are several private providers in the vicinity of the registration office and the citizens' offices. You will have to pay the price for the licence plates separately. These costs are not included in the fees. You must present the registration application to the manufacturer as proof of your authorisation.  
 You must then come back to us so that we can affix the official stickers to the licence plates and stamp them.  


   
### Can I keep my licence plate when I move?

 

If you move **from another registration district** to the city of Munich, you may keep the licence plate number when you change your registration if the vehicle is registered at the time of the move. In this case, you do not have to bring the licence plates with you. If this is not the case, the licence plates must be presented. After the vehicle has been taken out of service, the licence plate will be returned to the former registration authority.  


   
### Can I keep the licence plate after purchase?

 

**Keeping the licence plate number on purchase:** If you wish to take over the previous licence plate number of the last vehicle owner, the vehicle must still be registered. You do not have to bring the licence plates with you. If the vehicle has already been taken out of service at the time of the transfer, the previous licence plate cannot be transferred. If you want new licence plates and the vehicle is still registered, the licence plates must be presented. Once the vehicle has been taken out of service, the licence plate will be returned to the former registration authority.  


   
### Where can I deal with my request?

 

**Vehicle registration authority Eichstätter Str. 2:**

* Vehicle registration services and dealers only receive their service directly from the vehicle registration authority (not in the citizens' offices)
* leased / financed vehicles whose ZBII (vehicle registration document) is held by the bank can also only be processed directly at the vehicle registration authority (you must request the vehicle registration document from your bank and have it sent to the vehicle registration authority)
* Vehicles with an operating licence (e.g. vehicles and trailers without registration certificate part 2 / vehicle registration document) can only be re-registered at the vehicle registration authority

 **Any Citizens Office in Munich**You can have your new address entered in your vehicle documents at the same time as you register your place of residence.

 **Online registration authority**You can re-register your vehicle in Munich around the clock from the comfort of your own home. You will be guided through the online process step by step. Everything you need and where to find it is explained. For a successful completion ("drive off immediately"), you will need to download and print out some documents (provisional registration certificate, registration notice), depending on the registration / re-registration application. You can only drive off immediately (without stamp stickers) if you display the provisional registration certificate visibly on the outside of the vehicle. Don't worry if everything doesn't run smoothly. The registration office will contact you in the event of any queries or discrepancies. So please keep your contact details up to date.

   
### Can I choose a new licence plate?

 

You have the option of reserving a [licence plate](https://www.buergerservice-portal.de/bayern/muenchen/igvwkz/#/) of your [choice](https://www.buergerservice-portal.de/bayern/muenchen/igvwkz/#/). As the City of Munich does not have enough licence plate combinations available for all vehicles, cars without the suffix "E" (electric) or "H" (historic) or with a seasonal period may only be registered on normal licence plate sizes (M + 2 letters and 4 numbers, MUC + 1 letter and 4 numbers or MUC + 2 letters and 3 numbers). The licence plate reservation must be made by the future holder or entered in the licence plate reservation.  
 A licence plate reservation is only accepted with identical holder data.
