Receive exemption for vehicles and vehicle combinations: Equipping vehicles with yellow rotating lights
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) of the StVZO in order to participate in public road traffic.
As a general rule, exemptions may only be approved if all reasonable options for complying with the regulations of the StVZO and the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) have been fully exhausted.
They may only be approved to the extent that is unavoidably necessary for the intended purpose (strict standard); no exemption may be granted for economic reasons alone.
In principle, the exemptions may be granted for a period of up to 12 years; it is also possible to limit them to three, six or nine years.
The exemption permits must be obtained by the vehicle owner, carried along on journeys and handed over to the responsible persons for inspection on request.
Process flow
You can apply for the exemption in writing or online. The application must be briefly substantiated.
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 from a technical service designated in accordance with § 30 of the EC Vehicle Approval Ordinance (EG-FGV).
The expert opinion must indicate the necessary exceptions to 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 exceptions must be described in concrete terms and their necessity must be justified. You can then apply for the exemption.
The competent authority will examine your application, request documents if necessary and, if the examination is positive, issue the exemption and collect the fees.
