Car registration in Münster – online, even when no appointment is free
Münster is Germany's cycling capital – here you ride to the university, the Prinzipalmarkt and around the Aasee, not to the registration office. But when a car does need registering, re-registering or deregistering, the Münster registration office (Kfz-Zulassungsbehörde) on Rudolf-Diesel-Straße insists on a pre-booked online appointment – and in busy spells those are booked out for weeks. That's where we come in: you photograph your documents, we handle the authority visit by power of attorney, and your MS plates arrive by post – whether you live in Gievenbeck, have just moved into the Münsterland, or are re-registering your car at the start of a new semester.
In short
Car registration in Münster is handled by the Kfz-Zulassungsbehörde at Rudolf-Diesel-Straße 7, by online appointment only. When appointments are fully booked, we complete your registration, change of owner or deregistration as a private, KBA-certified service – entirely online. Upload your documents, sign the power of attorney, and your MS plates arrive by post. Registration from €79.90.
No appointment free in Münster? Then you're in the right place
The most common reason drivers from Münster come to us: the office's online appointment system is fully booked. On average you'll find a slot at Rudolf-Diesel-Straße within a few days, but in peak periods – the start of a semester, the end of the month – the wait stretches into weeks. We're independent of all that: as a KBA-certified registration service we act on your behalf by power of attorney and start straight away, no matter how full the local calendar is.
Münster registration office on Rudolf-Diesel-Straße
The responsible office is the vehicle registration authority within the City of Münster's Ordnungsamt: Rudolf-Diesel-Straße 7, 48157 Münster (phone 0251 492-3511, kfz-zulassung@stadt-muenster.de). It opens Monday to Wednesday 7:30–16:00, Thursday until 18:00 and Friday until 12:00 – but only with a pre-booked online appointment. Anyone who turns up without one is referred to the phone booking line. With us, that step disappears entirely.
New to the Münsterland? Re-register without getting on your bike
Münster keeps growing through students and new arrivals. If you move here for university or a new job in the Münsterland, you must re-register your car to your new address within the deadline – even though daily life here runs on two wheels and the car only moves at weekends. Instead of hunting for an appointment between lectures and moving boxes, you upload your papers and we handle the change, in Münster onto an MS plate.
For all of Münster – from Gievenbeck through Hiltrup to Wolbeck
Münster is divided into six districts – Mitte, Nord, Ost, West, Süd-Ost and Hiltrup – with neighbourhoods such as Gievenbeck, Kinderhaus, Coerde, Mecklenbeck, Roxel and Wolbeck. The same office on Rudolf-Diesel-Straße is responsible for all of them, whether you live in the Kreuzviertel or on the edge of town. With us your address makes no difference: the process is the same across Münster – fully online.
Register, re-register, deregister – every case online
Whether it's a brand-new car, a used purchase with a change of owner, a re-registration after moving within Münster or deregistering a vehicle you no longer need – we handle every case online. All you need are the right documents – vehicle registration certificate, ID, eVB insurance number and, for new cars, the CoC certificate – plus the pre-filled power of attorney, which you sign and photograph with your ID.
What does car registration in Münster cost?
Before you pay you see a clear breakdown, split into the City of Münster's official fee, the plates, shipping and our service fee. We start registration from €79.90, a change of owner from €66.90 and deregistration at €22. No hidden items – you know in advance what to expect.
Try i-Kfz yourself, or play it safe with a power of attorney?
You can attempt the state i-Kfz online registration yourself – but in practice it often fails on older vehicle papers or on used cars where the concealed security codes are missing. Our power-of-attorney route covers every case instead: you sign once, we act as an authorised KBA major account, and your Münster plates (MS) arrive stamped and ready by post.
