Vehicle transfer - within Munich
If you are the new owner of a vehicle that is already registered in Munich, you must re-register your vehicle (including trailer).
Course description
With your online licence plate function, you can conveniently re-register your vehicle online from home.
- If the vehicle is still registered in Munich, you can keep the licence plate number. You can also use a new licence plate.
- If the vehicle is currently not in use (immobilised), you will need a new number plate.
- You have the option of applying for a special licence plate.
- If you move within Munich, you do not need to transfer your vehicle, but you do need to have the change of address entered in the registration certificate part I.
If you no longer have your PIN for your online ID function, you can have a new PIN issued at any Citizens Office.
