Important notes

- a valid identity card or passport with a current registration certificate
- an expert opinion from an officially recognized expert for motor vehicle traffic
- if necessary, a power of attorney

Since safety requirements and structural deviations can differ greatly, a decision can only be made on a single case. The best thing to do is to contact the transport and approval management of the Landesbetrieb Verkehr (LBV) by telephone before submitting the application.
Important: Exemptions for imported vehicles are only processed in the Mitte location.

Registration must take place immediately.
