Which authority is responsible for car registration in Dresden?

The responsible office is the vehicle registration authority of the City of Dresden at Hauboldstraße 7 in the Prohlis district. A visit is only possible with a pre-booked appointment. If you use our service, we take over the office visit online in your name, so you don't have to travel to Prohlis yourself.

Yes. With our online registration service you need no appointment at the Prohlis authority. You start the order online at any time, we handle the registration by power of attorney, and the DD plates are sent to you by mail.

What does car registration in Dresden cost through your service?

Registration starts at €79.90, an owner transfer from €66.90, and deregistration costs €22. On top of that come the City of Dresden's official fees, the plates and shipping – which we itemise separately and transparently.

Will I still get the DD licence plate in Dresden?

Yes, vehicles in Dresden receive the DD plate. On request we reserve an individual personalised plate for you, and an existing DD plate can usually be kept when you re-register.

Car Registration in Dresden: Register, Transfer & Deregister Without an Appointment

Dresden's vehicle registration office in the Prohlis district often hands out appointments only weeks in advance – a real hurdle for TU students, newcomers to the Saxon capital and anyone with a full calendar. We take over the trip to the authority online, in your name: photograph your documents, sign the authorisation digitally, done. Your DD plates arrive by mail at your door – no drive to Prohlis required.

In short

You can register a car in Dresden entirely online, without an appointment at the authority in Prohlis. You photograph your vehicle documents and digitally sign a power of attorney; as a private registration service we then register, transfer or deregister your car in your name. Your DD plates are sent to your home by mail.

Car Registration in Dresden – Without the Trip to Prohlis

Dresden's vehicle registration authority is located at Hauboldstraße 7 in the Prohlis district, on the south-eastern edge of the city, and can only be visited with a pre-booked appointment. Instead of the drive, the parking search and the waiting number, we handle registration, transfer and deregistration entirely online for you. We are a private, KBA-certified registration service – not a public authority – and we take over the visit to the office on your behalf.

No Appointment – Made for Students and Newcomers

Dresden keeps growing: every semester thousands of students arrive at the TU and the HTW, joined by professionals and families from across Germany. Anyone moving to the city has to re-register their car – and immediately runs into scarce appointments. With us you need no office appointment: you start online whenever it suits you, including evenings and weekends.

For Every District – From the Äußere Neustadt to Gorbitz

Whether you live in the Äußere Neustadt, Striesen, Blasewitz, Löbtau, the Südvorstadt or in Prohlis and Gorbitz, we only need your address for the paperwork, not for an on-site visit. The entire process is digital, so your Dresden district has no bearing on the processing time.

Wait Times at the Dresden Registration Office

Appointments in Prohlis are usually bookable only around two weeks ahead and fill up quickly; at busy times you can wait several weeks for a free slot. Appearing in person is mandatory, and walk-in visits without an appointment are not provided for. We work independently of that appointment calendar and begin your registration as soon as your documents are complete.

Do i-Kfz Yourself or Use a Service With Power of Attorney?

The City of Dresden offers i-Kfz for do-it-yourself online registration – but it requires an activated ID-card eID with PIN, a card reader or the AusweisApp, and the correct security codes from your papers and plates. If any of these is missing, the process stalls. With us you simply sign a power of attorney and we handle the entire procedure – without the eID hurdles.

What Does Car Registration in Dresden Cost?

Our service starts at €79.90 for a new registration, from €66.90 for an owner transfer (re-registration) and €22 for deregistration. The City of Dresden's official fees, the licence plates and shipping are shown separately and transparently – so you see exactly what you are paying for.

How Your Online Registration in Dresden Works

You upload photos of your registration certificate, title document and the required proofs, and sign the power of attorney digitally. We check everything, go to the Dresden registration authority as your authorised representative, and have your vehicle registered, transferred or deregistered. We then send the plates and papers to your home by mail – anywhere in Germany.

DD – The Licence Plate for Dresden

Dresden has always carried the DD identifier. On request we reserve a personalised plate with your preferred combination, as long as it is available. Keeping or transferring an existing DD plate is also possible as part of the registration.
