Vehicle registration - report abandoned vehicles
Service Description
Motor vehicles that are no longer registered may not be parked on public roads, paths and squares.
Vehicles without license plates or with removed seals that are parked on public property can be reported to the local regulatory authority.
However, if the vehicles are parked on private property, the owner of the property is responsible for their removal or disposal (private law).
The field service of the road traffic authority is responsible for the removal of vehicles that have been forcibly immobilized.
Process flow
The notification is addressed to the local regulatory authority.
You can make the notification in writing, by telephone, e-mail, fax or by appearing in person.
Who should I contact?
The report is made to the competent regulatory authority of the place where the recovered vehicle is located.
Competent authority
After notification to the local regulatory authority, the vehicle registration authority is responsible (in Thuringia, these are the district councils and mayors of the independent cities and the large towns belonging to the district).
The registration authority in whose jurisdiction the main residence or place of residence of the vehicle owner is located is locally responsible (main residence according to the identity card).
In the case of legal entities, tradespeople and self-employed persons with a fixed place of business or public authorities, the registration authority of the registered office or the location of the branch or office involved is responsible.
