Register a car in Munich

Bought a car, or want to put a deregistered vehicle back on the road? We register your vehicle at the Munich registration authority for you – no need to book an appointment or wait at the office.

In a hurry? More on fast car registration and on how to order online.

When do you need to register?

New car: your brand-new vehicle is registered for the first time.
Used car that is already deregistered: you bought a car that is currently off the road.
Re-registration: your own car was deregistered and should be driven again.

If the used car you bought is still registered, you need a re-registration (change of ownership) instead.
