What is online vehicle registration and how does it work?

Internet-based vehicle registration (i-Kfz) lets you complete registration procedures fully digitally – without visiting the registration office. You identify yourself with your ID card or passport, submit the details from your vehicle documents and then receive the papers and stickers by post. Via iKfz Nordrhein-Westfalen you start the process and are guided to secure online processing by our service partner.

What are the advantages of online registration?

You save yourself an appointment, the journey and waiting time: the process is possible around the clock from home and is usually handled considerably faster than the classic trip to the authority. Plates and documents arrive conveniently by post.

Is online registration secure?

Yes. Identification is carried out using your ID card or passport, and data transmission is SSL-encrypted throughout. This ensures that only authorised persons can initiate a procedure.

Which documents do I generally need?

As a rule you need a valid ID card or passport, registration certificate part I (vehicle registration document) and part II (vehicle title), as well as the eVB number from your car insurer.
