What to prepare before buying
Germany is not only a source market. Buyers can also bring cars into Germany from the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy and other European markets. Registration is handled through the competent local authority, so the exact file can depend on the region.
- Keep the foreign registration papers and purchase document in original form where required by the local authority.
- A valid EC Certificate of Conformity can simplify the technical side of registration; vehicles without one may need additional approval evidence.
- Check the local Zulassungsstelle requirements for residence, insurance confirmation, vehicle tax mandate and plates before booking transport.
