Deregister vehicle
Deregistering vehicles such as a car: online or in person on site
You can apply to deregister a vehicle, e.g. a car deregistration, in person at any registration authority in Germany.
For vehicles registered in Jena, you can also apply to deregister your vehicle via our online service.
Documents
- Registration certificate part I or vehicle registration document
- License plates - After de-stamping, the license plates will be returned or can be disposed of here.
- If the vehicle is not being scrapped: Declaration by the vehicle owner that the vehicle is not to be disposed of as waste. Please note in the case of powers of attorney - use our sample deregistration power of attorney.
- If the vehicle is scrapped: Proof of utilization or declaration of whereabouts in accordance with the End-of-Life Vehicle Ordinance
- If applicable, power of attorney and personal document (copy) of the vehicle owner
Note: In the case of financed vehicles, the registration certificate part II does not have to be requested from the bank for the purpose of decommissioning! A written declaration of consent to decommissioning is sufficient.
