There are a lot of crazy and unusual vehicles on German roads License-plates On the way. One likes to come across cars with letter combinations like DO-OF, MA-MA, KA-TZ, AF-FE or DU-MM. These combinations are through the so-called License plates possible, which are very popular with car owners. Often the Initials and Birthdays the holder (or by other people) integrated into the combination. These personal license plates are not only used to amuse other road users, the vehicle owner can also remember them more easily. This article gives you all the information you need to know about reserving individual license plates and about existing restrictions.
Place abbreviations cannot be freely determined
Each German city is assigned an abbreviation that indicates the registration district of a car, for the capital Berlin it is approximately the letter "B", for Dresden it is "DD" or for Chemnitz "C". This so-called Distinguishing marks can in most cases not be chosen by oneself. For some time, however, the fact that some cities are re-using their old license plates has been passed over, which means that, as an exception, vehicle owners have the option of choosing between two place abbreviations.
For example, if you live in Tettnang on Lake Constance, you can choose between TT and FN, which is the abbreviation for the Friedrichshafen district. The same applies to the Aue- / Schwarzenberg district in the Ore Mountains in Saxony. Here you can even choose from three options ("ERZ" = Erzgebirgskreis, "AU" = Aue, "SZB" = Schwarzenberg). There is also the option of changing location, using his old abbreviation continue to be used. The location code is followed by the identification number, which usually consists of two letters and three numbers. This number is individually determinable, but overall the license plate may no more than eight digits to have.
Prohibited combinations
Not only are there restrictions on the number of digits, there are also restrictions not all combinations allowed, because they violate valid moral norms or they can be associated with German Nazi history. These combinations are for example: JH, AH, KZ, SS, N-PD, N-SU, SA, as well as the numbers 18 (stands for Adolf Hitler) and 88 (stands for Heil Hitler). Classed as immoral, the letters IS are also not allowed. Just like FE, because in combination with the abbreviation for Warendorf it results in WAF-FE. There is even more information on this in our article "These are forbidden combinations on license plates!"
Reservation of your desired license plate
If your desired license plate has not yet been assigned, you have the option of requesting a combination from the motor vehicle authority in your registration area Reservations. This reservation can online, personally and telephone be carried out. The duration varies from district to district, but is usually in a range of 10 to 180 days. Even if you have de-registered a vehicle, you can use the same combination again when you log in again. In monetary terms, the use of a custom license plate and its reservation only has a limited impact. A surcharge of 10,20 euros is due when registering for a vehicle, or 12,80 euros for online reservations.
