Apply for seasonal licence plates for vehicles
Performance specification
You can apply to the registration authority for a seasonal licence plate for a certain period each year. This is the period of use during which you can drive your vehicle on public roads each year. A seasonal licence plate serves to identify the owner and the period of use.
You can use this option if you own a motorbike, a convertible or a motorhome, for example.
When you register your vehicle, you specify the operating period during which you wish to use the vehicle each year. You must take out motor vehicle insurance corresponding to the operating period in advance. The operating period can be between 2 and 11 full months per year.
Outside the operating period, you may not drive the vehicle on public roads and must park it away from public roads and places, for example in a private car park. The operating period is shown on the right-hand side of the licence plate as a fractional number. For example, "05/11" means that you may use the vehicle from May to November.
You apply for registration in person or online with the internet-based vehicle registration i-Kfz.
You must have the signs embossed yourself.
