Obtain exemption for vehicles and vehicle combinations: private use of a vehicle for fire protection purposes
Service Description
Vehicles that do not comply with the construction and operating regulations of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) require a special permit in accordance with Section 70 (1) StVZO in order to participate in public road traffic.
In principle, exemptions may only be approved if all reasonable possibilities for complying with the provisions of the StVZO and the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) have been fully exhausted.
They may only be approved to the extent that is absolutely necessary for the intended purpose (strict standard); no exemption may be granted for economic reasons alone.
The exemptions can generally be granted for a period of validity of up to 12 years; they can also be limited to three, six or nine years.
The exemption permits must be obtained by the vehicle owner, carried along when driving and handed over to the responsible persons for inspection on request.
The vehicle/part to be approved must already exist. Pre-approval is not possible due to the need for a technical inspection (see below).
Process flow
You can apply for the exemption in writing or online. The application must be briefly justified.
Before you can apply for an exemption for a vehicle, you need an expert opinion from an officially recognized expert for motor vehicle traffic or an authorized signatory of a technical service designated in accordance with Section 30 of the EC Vehicle Approval Regulation (EG-FGV).
The report must state the necessary exemptions from the StVZO, the suitability of the vehicle or vehicle combination and the requirements and conditions deemed necessary in the interests of road safety. The proposals for exemptions must be described in concrete terms and their necessity must be justified. You can then apply for the exemption permit.
The competent authority will examine your application, request additional documents if necessary and, if the examination is positive, will issue you with the exemption permit and charge the fees.
