Re-registration of a vehicle that has been taken out of service
If you want to use your deregistered vehicle on the road again, you must first re-register it.
This is a re-registration to the same owner if you are the person who was previously registered as the owner of the vehicle. If there has been a change of keeper, this is referred to as re-registration to a different keeper.
You can submit the application in person to the registration authority responsible for you or appoint a representative to do so.
Note: Applicants and owners who have an information block entered in the register of residents are advised to present a certificate of registration promptly at the interview. If a certificate of registration is not presented, processing may be delayed or the application may even be rejected, as a manual query must then be made at the citizens' office.
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!
