You may only use a vehicle subject to registration on public roads if it has been registered for that purpose by the competent registration authority.

Part II of the registration certificate serves as proof that you have the right to use the vehicle and is important, for example:

• when selling the vehicle
• when re-registering
• when financing

You must apply for a replacement copy of the Registration Certificate Part II in the following cases:

• loss
• theft
• If it is illegible

If the Vehicle Registration Certificate Part II has been stolen, you must report this to the police. If you lose the Vehicle Registration Certificate Part II or it has been destroyed, you must submit a sworn statement to the insurance company confirming that your statements are accurate.

You cannot apply for a replacement document online. You must go in person to your local vehicle registration office. You will receive the new Part II of the Certificate of Registration after a period of time, which will be communicated to you.

Even if you have lost the Vehicle Registration Certificate Part II, you may continue to drive your vehicle.

You can apply for a replacement document for the registration certificate part II at your registration authority.

The registration authority will report the loss or theft of the registration certificate Part II to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). Upon request, the KBA will publish the lost registration certificate Part II in the Transport Gazette with a deadline for submission to the competent registration authority. Only after the deadline has expired may the registration authority issue a replacement document. You can then collect the new registration documents.

If you find a lost registration certificate Part II, you must report this immediately to the relevant registration authority.
