• Since July 1, 2010, export license plates are subject to tax from the day of allocation for the allocation period. If there are no bank details within the euro payment area or if a cash payment is desired, a visit to the Wiesbaden main customs office is necessary with the above-mentioned documents.
• If the vehicle tax is not paid by the person to whom the vehicle is registered, a written direct debit authorization with original ID and bank card must be submitted.
• The applicant must not have any outstanding fees and expenses from previous registration processes. If payment arrears exceed ten euros, the registration authority may not register the vehicle until these have been settled. If the arrears are less than ten euros, the registration authority can decide whether or not to register the vehicle.
• The applicant must not have vehicle tax debts of five euros or more. Late payment penalties, interest and late payment penalties are also taken into account when calculating the amount.
• If the applicant is to be represented when registering their vehicle, a written power of attorney must be issued to the person representing them and a valid identity card or passport must be handed over for presentation. This power of attorney must also contain the applicant's consent that the registration authority may inform the authorized person of any outstanding fees and expenses. The representative must present the power of attorney and provide proof of identity.
• The SEPA mandate must contain two signatures in the "Payer" and "Holder" fields. If the payer and holder are identical, the signature in the "Payer" field is sufficient.
