License plates: Reserve the license plate of your choice

  • Performance specification

    Do you want a specific combination of letters or numbers for your license plate, for example

    • an abbreviation of the name,
    • the abbreviation of your company,
    • a date of birth or marriage, or
    • Would you like an "old license plate" for your vehicle that is available again in your district together with a specific identification number?

    For a fee, you can apply for a license plate of your choice or have it reserved in advance.

    If you would like to use the desired license plate of your deregistered vehicle again later in the same administrative district, you can reserve the identification number for a certain period of time for a fee and apply again in connection with the re-registration or registration of another vehicle. A reservation of the desired license plate expires if you move a deregistered vehicle. Contact the registration authority beforehand.

    Attention:

    • The subsequent change of a license plate combination assigned to a vehicle is only possible for an additional fee.
    • A desired license plate reserved in another registration district cannot be taken to the new registration district when moving.

    Hint: The regulatory authorities will try to comply with your wishes. However, you have no legal claim to a desired license plate.

  • Process flow

    At most registration authorities, you can reserve or apply for desired license plates in person, in writing or by telephone. Many regulatory authorities also offer an online service on the Internet.
