Re-registration of a vehicle that has been taken out of service
When ownership of a vehicle already registered in Wiesbaden changes, the vehicle must be re-registered in the new owner's name. If the vehicle is still registered, the license plates may be retained. However, it is also possible to change the license plates.
Registration is only possible if the main place of residence under registration law is in Wiesbaden or, in the case of companies, if the company is based in Wiesbaden.

What else should I know?
The applicant must not have any outstanding fees and expenses from previous registration processes. If payment arrears exceed 10 euros, the registration authority may not register the vehicle until these have been settled. If the arrears are less than 10 euros, the registration authority can decide whether or not to register the vehicle.
The applicant must not have vehicle tax debts of 5 euros or more. Late payment penalties, interest and late payment penalties are also taken into account when calculating the amount.
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. Please note that a SEPA direct debit mandate signed by the holder and payer is required for each individual registration process, which you can fill in directly online here and then print out for signing!
Remark
The applicant must not have any outstanding fees or expenses from previous registration procedures. If the outstanding amount exceeds ten euros, the registration authority may not register the vehicle until the amount is paid in full. If the amount is less than ten euros, the registration authority may decide whether or not to register the vehicle anyway.
The applicant must not have any outstanding motor vehicle tax debts of five euros or more. Late fees, interest, and penalty charges are also included in the calculation of this amount.
If the applicant is to be represented during the registration of their vehicle, the representative must be granted a written power of attorney and provided with a valid ID card or passport for presentation. This power of attorney must also include the applicant’s consent allowing the registration authority to inform the authorized representative of any outstanding fees and expenses. The representative must present the power of attorney and provide identification.
