Which authority is responsible for vehicle registration in Berlin?

The responsible body is the Landesamt für Bürger- und Ordnungsangelegenheiten (LABO), with two vehicle-registration sites: Jüterboger Straße 3 in Kreuzberg and Ferdinand-Schultze-Straße 55 in Lichtenberg (tel. 030 90269-3300). Both serve all of Berlin and work by appointment only. With us you don't need to visit either site yourself.

Can I register my car in Berlin without an appointment?

Not directly at the LABO – appointments are mandatory there, and free slots are often booked out several weeks ahead. Through our registration service it works without one: we act by power of attorney in your name and are independent of Berlin's appointment situation, so you can start right away.

Which licence plate do I get in Berlin?

Vehicles from Berlin carry the regional code B. Through us you can also reserve a personalised plate with B; the finished, embossed plates are sent to your home by post – you don't have to travel to the LABO for it.

Vehicle Registration in Berlin: Register, Transfer & Deregister Without the Weeks-Long Wait

Berlin is Germany's busiest city for vehicle registration – and it shows at the appointment desk: at the Landesamt für Bürger- und Ordnungsangelegenheiten (LABO), free slots are often booked out weeks in advance. We handle the authority visit online in your name: registration, transfer and deregistration without the appointment hunt, and your B plate arrives by post.

In short

In Berlin the vehicle registration authority is the LABO, with offices in Kreuzberg and Lichtenberg – appointments are often booked out for weeks. A registration service skips the queue: you upload your vehicle document, ID and insurance code (eVB) as photos, sign a power of attorney, we handle the authority online, and your B plate arrives by post.

Vehicle Registration in Berlin – Without the Trip to the LABO

In a city of roughly 3.8 million people, every trip to a public office costs time: driving across Berlin, hunting for parking, taking a queue number. We take over that entire part – you send us your vehicle document, ID and insurance code (eVB) as photos, and we handle the authority side at the LABO. New car, used car or deregistration: the process is the same across all of Berlin and runs without you.

Why LABO Appointments in Berlin Are So Hard to Get

Berlin has the highest registration volume in Germany, so appointments are correspondingly scarce. Booking online or by phone with the LABO typically means waiting several weeks for a free slot, and popular times are often gone within minutes of being released. As a registration service, we are independent of that appointment situation: you start straight away instead of waiting weeks for a spot.

Berlin's Registration Authority: LABO in Kreuzberg and Lichtenberg

In Berlin the responsible body is the Landesamt für Bürger- und Ordnungsangelegenheiten (LABO), with two vehicle-registration sites: Jüterboger Straße 3 in 10965 Berlin-Kreuzberg and Ferdinand-Schultze-Straße 55 in 13055 Berlin-Lichtenberg (service line 030 90269-3300). Both sites serve the whole of Berlin, and both require an appointment – you won't be seen without one. With us you skip the trip to either address entirely.

Registering a Car in Berlin Without an Appointment

Can't get an appointment at the LABO? That is the single most common reason people come to us. You don't need one: we act by power of attorney in your name and are independent of the local appointment situation – you can start immediately, even when the next free LABO slots are weeks away.

For All 12 Districts – From Mitte to Marzahn-Hellersdorf

Whichever district you live in – Mitte, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Pankow, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Spandau, Neukölln, Treptow-Köpenick or Marzahn-Hellersdorf – registration in Berlin runs centrally through the LABO. With us the process is identical for all 12 districts and completely online, so nobody has to drive across town to Kreuzberg or Lichtenberg.

What Does Vehicle Registration in Berlin Cost?

Prices are transparent and itemised separately: the official LABO fee, the plates, shipping and our service fee. Registration from €79.90, change of keeper from €66.90, deregistration €22 – you see every line item before you pay. As a private, KBA-certified registration service we are not a public authority; we pass the official fees on to you unchanged.

i-Kfz Yourself or a Registration Service by Power of Attorney?

You can, in theory, complete the i-Kfz online registration yourself through Berlin's service portal – but it often fails on older paperwork or used cars that lack the required security codes. Our registration by power of attorney, by contrast, covers every case: you sign, photograph the power of attorney together with your ID, and your Berlin plate (B) arrives at your home by post.
