Bochum registration office: address & contact
The Bochum registration office (Straßenverkehrsamt) is at Bulksmühle 17, 44777 Bochum (phone 0234 910-8282). An appointment is mandatory there – you cannot simply walk in without one. In practice, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday are quieter than the start of the week. With us you skip the appointment search entirely.

Register, re-register and deregister in Bochum
New registration, change of owner after a used-car purchase, re-registration after a move within Bochum, or deregistering a vehicle – we handle all procedures online. You only need the right documents and a power of attorney.
What does car registration in Bochum cost?

i-Kfz yourself or power of attorney for Bochum?
You can in theory do the online registration (i-Kfz) yourself – but it often fails with old papers or used cars that lack the required security codes. Our registration by power of attorney, on the other hand, covers every case: you sign, photograph the authorisation with your ID, and your Bochum plates (BO) arrive by post.
