New vehicle registration documents
since 01.10.2005
The implementation of EU Directive 1999/37/EU "Registration
Documents for Vehicles" in national law and legal requirements
for data protection have necessitated the introduction of new, fal‐
sification-proof registration documents.
Since 01.10.2005, only the new documents are issued by the
registration authorities in the event of new registrations, change
of ownership, registration of technical modifications and all other
matters.
The new registration documents are comprised of:
♦ Registration certificate part I, which replaces the certificate of
registration and
♦ Registration certificate part II, which replaces the vehicle log
book.
Registration certificate part I (certificate of registration)
♦ Contains all vehicle technical data which must be available to
register a vehicle in Europe; however, only one wheel and tyre
combination approved as standard is specified
♦ Contains the EU-wide, standardised, alphanumerical codes
assigned to the technical data, so that the German registration
certificate can be converted without problems into the regis‐
tration document prescribed in non-member European coun‐
tries for registration there
♦ Contains a field for documenting temporary or final immobili‐
sation of the vehicle, and is therefore no longer withdrawn in
the event of temporary or final immobilisation
Registration certificate part II (vehicle log book)
♦ Contains the note that the holder of the registration certificate
is not identified as the owner
♦ Contains only the current and, if applicable, the last vehicle
owner; the actual number of previous owners is shown nu‐
merically
♦ Contains only a small percentage of the technical vehicle data
♦ No longer serves to document temporary vehicle deregistra‐
tion. The vehicle and body type specified under number 1 in
the old vehicle documents will not exist in the future. In the new
documents, this will be replaced by standardised EU vehicle
classes with body type.
Introduction of the new registration documents will lead to barely
any changes for the vehicle operator.
Like the old certificate of registration, the registration certificate
part I (certificate of registration) must be kept in the vehicle and
submitted to responsible persons on request.
It is not necessary for the wheel and tyre combination specified
in the registration certificate part I (certificate of registration) to be
fitted. All combinations approved according to the general vehicle
type approval or EU type approval ⇒ page 6 may be fitted.
The validity of a wheel and tyre combination which deviates from
the general vehicle type approval or EU type approval must still
be verified via an entry in the registration certificate part I (certif‐
icate of registration), an installation certificate based on a part
