When do I need to re-register my car?
A re-registration is needed when you have bought a used car (change of owner to your name) or moved within Essen. It's also due when you move to Essen from another city – we handle all of these cases online.
Which documents do I need to re-register?
For the change of owner in Essen you need both vehicle papers: the registration certificate Part I (vehicle document) and Part II (vehicle title), the security codes from the plates and papers, an eVB number as well as your ID and a SEPA mandate. If the security codes are missing, we clarify the right way with you.
Can I keep my Essen plate (E)?
