Due to their size, motorbikes have limited space for licence plates.
The legally prescribed size cannot be implemented here. Especially with an "E" or "H" licence plate.
Attention:
If you want to register a motorbike online, you need a special licence plate. Arandomly selected licence plate is not technically feasible here and the allocated licence plate is too large.
If you would like to register a licence platewith the suffix "E" or "H", please contact the registration office in advance(via the contact form), as you will need a particularly short licence plate for this.
Upon application, the initial registration can also be carried out for the duration of one day only. A day registration does not require the licence plates to be stamped.
- Electric motorbikes: For online registration, please contact the registration office in advance for a suitable licence plate. Only certain licence plates fit these vehicles. In order to be able to provide enough licence plates, these are not approved for all vehicles and must be applied for separately. You can contact us directly via the "Contact form registration office".
If you register on site, you can apply for this on the spot. - Electric cars: There may be space problems with particularly long licence plate combinations. The responsible clerk will be happy to help you.
Once we have prepared your registration application, the next step is to buy the licence plates. 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.
You have the option of reserving a licence plate of your choice.
As the City of Munich does not have enough shortened licence plates (2 letters and 3 numbers) available for everyone, cars without the suffix "E" (electric) or "H" (historic) or with a seasonal period may only be registered on normal licence plate sizes (2 letters and 4 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.
If a registration certificate Part II has already been issued by another registration authority, it may still be necessary to identify the vehicle in some cases. Please contact the registration authority to clarify whether this applies in your case.
Vehicle registration services and dealers can only obtain their services directly from the registration authority (not from the citizens' offices).
If you have recently moved to Munich, you can also re-register your vehicle at one of the citizens' offices at the same time as you re-register your place of residence.
Vehicles with an operating licence (e.g. light motorbikes, trailers for sports purposes, trailers for work machines) can only be registered at the vehicle registration authority.
