Dortmund registration office: address & contact
The Dortmund registration office (Straßenverkehrsamt) is at Südwall 2-4, 44137 Dortmund (phone 0231 50-13332). An appointment is mandatory there – you cannot simply walk in without one. New appointments are usually released in the morning from around 7 a.m., and on Thursdays it is open until 6 p.m. With us you skip the appointment search entirely.
Registration in Dortmund without an appointment
Can't get an appointment at the Dortmund registration office? That's the most common reason people come to us. You don't need one: we act by power of attorney on your behalf and are independent of the local appointment situation – you start immediately.
Also for Aplerbeck, Hörde and Scharnhorst
Dortmund is divided into 12 city districts. Besides the main office on Südwall, individual district offices (Bezirksverwaltungsstellen) – for example in Aplerbeck, Hörde and Scharnhorst – also carry out registrations. With us you need none of these locations: we handle everything centrally and online for all of Dortmund.
Register, re-register and deregister in Dortmund
New registration, change of owner after a used-car purchase, re-registration after a move within Dortmund, 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 Dortmund cost?
The prices are transparent and listed separately: the official fee of the city of Dortmund, plates, shipping and our service fee. Registration from €79.90, change of owner from €66.90, deregistration €22 – you see everything before payment.
i-Kfz yourself or power of attorney for Dortmund?
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 Dortmund plates (DO) arrive by post.
