Vehicle license plates; applying for a seasonal license plate
Some vehicles are often only driven on public roads for a certain period of the year. If this period remains unchanged every year, e.g. from April to October, it may be advisable to register the vehicle with a seasonal license plate.

Informationen
The Vehicle Registration Ordinance (Fahrzeug-Zulassungsverordnung - FZV) offers the legal option of only using motor vehicles on public roads for a certain period of the year. This can be done by deregistration and re-registration.
However, if the operating periods are the same every year, there is the option of so-called seasonal registration . The operating period is noted on the license plate in full months. The vehicle can be registered for a minimum of two and a maximum of 11 months per year. Splitting into several shorter registration periods per year is not permitted.
Once registered in this way, the motor vehicles can be used in the specified operating period every year without having to visit the registration authority again. General inspections falling within the rest period can be carried out in the first month of the next operating period. During the rest of the year, the vehicles may not be moved or parked on public roads.
Seasonal license plates can also be issued online.
You can access the internet-based processes on the portal of your registration authority. You will also find further information there.
Information on the online procedures of the registration authorities can be found under "Further links".
