Vehicle registration - Applying for the replacement of the operating license of unregistered vehicles after loss
Service Description
If your individual operating license for a vehicle without registration has been lost or stolen, you must be issued with a new operating license.
In the event of theft, you must report the theft to the police immediately.
A registration certificate Part I and Part II belong to a motor vehicle or trailer, and an operating license/COC document for vehicles without registration.
If any of these are lost or stolen, you must report this immediately to your local registration authority and apply for a new registration certificate or operating license.
Process flow
If the technical data for the vehicle is already stored at the registration office of the district, a replacement document can be issued to you immediately.
If the technical data for the vehicle is not stored, a clearance certificate must be applied for at the registration office. The clearance certificate must then be submitted to the manufacturer, who can issue a replacement type approval.
If the manufacturer no longer exists or the vehicle was manufactured in-house, the clearance certificate must be submitted to a testing organization. The testing organization will issue a technical report. The registration office can issue the replacement type approval on the basis of the test organization's report.
Who should I contact?
You must apply to your local licensing authority for a new operating license.
Which documents are required?
- valid identity card or passport
- for commercially used vehicles: additional proof of ownership
