Classic cars can be vehicles that were first registered or put on the road 30 years ago or earlier. Such vehicles, which largely correspond to their original condition and are in good condition, are cultural motor vehicle assets. Classic cars are often not intended for everyday use. However, there are historic vehicles with which you can take part in road traffic without restrictions. These vehicles have an "H" in the last position of the license plate, which stands for "historic".

An H license plate is associated with various advantages for you, for example

• Tax relief
• insurance benefits
• Different regulations in environmental zones

The registration authority will issue you with the H license plate when you apply for a registration for a classic car. If you already have a registered vehicle and it is 30 years old, you can apply for a simple license plate change.

When applying for registration, you must submit an expert opinion on the classification of your vehicle as a classic car from an officially recognized expert. A general inspection (HU) is also carried out as part of this report.

You must also affix the license plates to classic cars in accordance with the legal requirements. Exceptions to the design and attachment must be legally permissible or entered in the registration certificate part I.
