Which authority is responsible for car registration in Munich?

The responsible body is the Kreisverwaltungsreferat (KVR) München, Main Department II – the vehicle registration and driving licence authority at Eichstätter Straße 2 in Laim. Access there is only possible with an appointment. With us you don't need one: we handle the visit to the authority online, on your behalf.

Can I register my car in Munich without an appointment?

Yes. Directly at the KVR an appointment is mandatory and often hard to get. Through us the registration runs without your own appointment: you upload your documents as photos and sign a power of attorney, we do the rest and send the plates by post.

What does car registration in Munich cost through your service?

Registration starts at €79.90, ownership transfer from €66.90, and deregistration costs €22. The official KVR fees, the plates and shipping are added on top and shown separately and transparently.

Can I still get a plate with M in Munich?

Yes, Munich still issues the M code. On registration you receive an M plate; on request we reserve your personal custom plate in advance, so your chosen letter-and-number combination goes straight onto the plates.

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

Munich is booming – full streets, high car density and a Kreisverwaltungsreferat (KVR) where access is by appointment only, and slots are scarce. Instead of waiting weeks for a free appointment and driving across town to Laim, we handle the whole process online in your name. Registration, ownership transfer and deregistration are done remotely, and your plates with the M code arrive by post.

In short

In Munich, car registration can be handled entirely online: you photograph your vehicle documents, upload them and sign a power of attorney. We then deal with the Kreisverwaltungsreferat (KVR) on your behalf – no appointment and no trip to the office. Your new licence plates with the M code are posted to your home. Registration starts at €79.90.

Car registration in Munich – without the trip to the KVR in Laim

Munich's Kreisverwaltungsreferat is centralised at Eichstätter Straße 2 in the Laim district – a real journey across town for many residents, complete with parking hassle and on-site waiting. We take all of that off your hands: registration, ownership transfer and deregistration are handled entirely online. You stay at home, we deal with the authority, and the plates arrive by post.

Why appointments at Munich's KVR are so hard to get

Munich is a boom region: strong population growth, high purchasing power and one of Germany's highest car densities meet an office that processes around 900,000 cases a year. Access to the registration office is only possible with an appointment – and free slots are often booked out for weeks, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you'd rather stay flexible, you can skip the scramble for a slot and have your registration done online.

Registering a car in Munich without an appointment – how it works

You don't need a KVR appointment and you don't have to queue in the online booking system. Use your phone to photograph your registration certificate, title document, insurance (eVB) number and ID, upload everything and sign the power of attorney digitally. We do the rest: we act on your behalf at the Munich registration authority and send the finished plates to your home.

For Schwabing, Bogenhausen, Pasing – and commuters from the surrounding area

Whether you live in Schwabing, Maxvorstadt, Bogenhausen, Sendling, Neuhausen or Pasing, the KVR is responsible for any vehicle with a Munich address, no matter which of the 25 city districts you're in. And because we work throughout Germany, we also handle registrations for commuters and newcomers from the surrounding area – such as the district of Munich, Freising, Dachau or Fürstenfeldbruck – always with the authority responsible for your place of residence.

Register, transfer or deregister with the M plate

Munich drives under the M code – one of the most sought-after plates in the country. We handle the first registration of a new or used vehicle, the ownership transfer when you buy a car, and deregistration when you sell one or take it off the road. On request, we reserve your personal custom plate with M in advance, so your favourite combination goes straight onto the plates.

What does car registration in Munich cost?

Our service starts at €79.90 for a registration, ownership transfer is from €66.90, and deregistration costs €22. The official KVR fees, the physical plates and shipping are shown separately and transparently, so you know exactly what to expect in advance, with no hidden costs.

i-Kfz yourself or a registration service by power of attorney?

The government's i-Kfz portal lets you handle some tasks online yourself – but that requires an activated ID card with online function, the right PIN and some patience with the technology. With us, a photo of your documents and a signature are enough; we take care of the portal, the authority and the plate delivery by power of attorney. No registration, no card reader, no bureaucratic German.

Save time in expensive Munich – why register online?

In a city where time and parking are scarce and costly, half a day for the drive, a parking space and a waiting ticket is quickly gone. Online registration saves you exactly that effort: no trip to Laim, no waiting for a KVR appointment, no day off spent at the office. You handle everything from your sofa, and we get your car on the road.
