i-Kfz yourself or power of attorney for Gelsenkirchen?
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 Gelsenkirchen plates (GE) arrive by post.
