• You must submit an application for the issue of a registration certificate Part I (ZB I).
  • Either at the registration authority that issued the license plate number
  • or at a registration authority at the location of the vehicle.
• This can be done either by the person to whom the vehicle is registered or by a representative with a written power of attorney.

Please note:

• If a vehicle registration certificate was still issued for the vehicle, a registration certificate part I (ZB I) will now be issued as a replacement.
• A new registration certificate Part I (ZB I) - formerly the vehicle registration document - and an old vehicle registration document - now registration certificate Part II (ZB II) - may not be issued at the same time.
