Which authority is responsible for car registration in Nuremberg?

The responsible body is the vehicle registration office within the city's Ordnungsamt at the Rathenauplatz. Some registration matters can also be handled at the Süd and Ost citizen offices. If you hire us, we deal with the authority entirely on your behalf – you don't go there yourself.

Can I register my car in Nuremberg without an appointment?

With the city itself, only with a pre-booked appointment or via the i-Kfz portal. Through us you need no appointment at all: upload your documents as photos, sign the authorisation online, and we complete the registration in your name.

What does registration through your service in Nuremberg cost?

Registration starts at €79.90, a keeper change at €66.90 and a deregistration at €22. On top come the city of Nuremberg's official fees plus plates and shipping – these items are always shown separately.

Will I get the N plate in Nuremberg?

Yes. Vehicles registered within the city of Nuremberg receive the N district code. On request we reserve and emboss a personalised number for you and include the plates with your postal delivery.

Car Registration in Nuremberg: Register, Transfer & Deregister Online – No Appointment

Nuremberg's vehicle registration office sits at the Rathenauplatz on the edge of the old town and serves the whole Franconian metropolitan region. Anyone commuting between Nuremberg, Fürth and Erlangen knows the pain: a single appointment can swallow half a working day. We take that off your plate. We handle the registration online in your name, and your N plate arrives by post.

In short

In Nuremberg you can register a car yourself via the city's i-Kfz online portal, or hand it to a registration service with power of attorney. With us you upload photos of your vehicle documents, ID and eVB insurance code and sign a digital authorisation – we deal with the authority for you, with no appointment of your own. The N plate comes by post.

Car registration in Nuremberg – without the trip to Rathenauplatz

Nuremberg's registration office belongs to the city's public order department (Ordnungsamt) and sits at the Rathenauplatz, just east of the old town. Getting into the centre, finding parking and securing an appointment all cost time that working people rarely have to spare. We handle the paperwork online in your name, so you don't have to travel anywhere. Note: we are a private, KBA-certified registration service, not a government authority.

Time back for commuters in the Nuremberg–Fürth–Erlangen region

In the Franconian metropolitan region people often live and work in different cities – Erlangen in the morning, Nuremberg in the evening. An appointment at the Rathenauplatz then means a day off or a very long lunch break. Because we do everything remotely, your working day stays untouched: uploading your documents from the sofa in the evening is enough. We serve Nuremberg online from across Germany; we do not have a local office there.

Registering in Nuremberg without an appointment

The Nuremberg office works strictly by appointment; walk-ins are rarely possible and free slots are scarce at peak times. With us you need none of those appointments: photograph your registration certificate (Part I, and Part II if applicable), your ID and your eVB insurance confirmation number and sign the authorisation digitally – we do the rest. No queueing, no opening hours.

For the Südstadt, Gostenhof, Langwasser and the surrounding area

Whether you live in the old town, Gostenhof, the Südstadt around Aufseßplatz, Langwasser, St. Johannis or Zabo, what matters for registration is your registration district, not your neighbourhood. Customers from the wider Nuremberg area, Fürth or Erlangen can use the service too. Which plate code you receive depends on where you are registered as a resident.

The N plate: reserving a personalised Nuremberg number

Vehicles from the city of Nuremberg carry the N district code. On request we reserve your personalised number (Wunschkennzeichen) with the Nuremberg office and have the plates embossed for you – they go out with your shipment. Just tell us the letter-and-number combination you want and we check whether it is available.

What does car registration in Nuremberg cost?

Our service fee starts at €79.90 for a new registration, from €66.90 for a keeper change (transfer) and €22 for a deregistration. The city of Nuremberg's official fees, the cost of the physical plates and the shipping are shown separately and transparently – no hidden items.

Doing i-Kfz yourself or using a registration service?

The city of Nuremberg offers online registration (i-Kfz) directly – but you need an activated online ID (eID), its PIN and a BundID account, and you have to run through the whole process yourself. If you're missing one of those requirements, or simply don't want the hassle, we handle everything by power of attorney – no eID needed, just photos of your documents.
