License plates Germany: Complete list of all license plates
Which license plate belongs to which city? And from which region does the car with this license plate originate? Drivers and passengers ask themselves these questions almost every day when they are on the roads. Many of the more than 600 license plates in Germany are generally known – for example, almost every child knows that "B" stands for Berlin. But with license plates with three letters, it gets difficult and the guesswork begins. Did you know, for example, that "KUS" stands for the district of Kusel? If not, you've come to the right place.
Further down in the article you will find a detailed list of all German license plates.
The most important facts in brief
- The complete list contains all German license plates at a glance.
- "MUC": The city of Munich will receive a second license plate in addition to "M".
- In many cases, custom license plates can be conveniently reserved online.
- Private individuals can identify the vehicle owner in traffic law cases.
License plate variants in Germany
The license plate, often referred to simply as a license plate, is assigned to a vehicle by the vehicle registration office. The allocation of license plates is legally regulated in the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV). There are different types of license plates in Germany, including seasonal license plates, red and green license plates, as well as special license plates for classic cars (H license plates) and electric vehicles (E-license plates).
Standard license plate Germany
The standard German license plate consists of the distinguishing license plate (up to three letters) and the identification number (one or two letters and up to four digits). A maximum of eight characters (letters and numbers) may be on the license plate. The distinguishing license plate, such as "CLP" for Cloppenburg, represents the administrative district of the vehicle. In Germany, however, not only the number of characters, but also the dimensions of the license plates are fixed:
The dimensions for single-line license plates in Germany are:
- 520 mm × 110 mm
- 480 mm × 110 mm
- 460 mm × 110 mm
- 420 mm × 110 mm
- 400 mm × 110 mm
The dimensions for two-line license plates in Germany are:
- 340 mm × 200 mm
- 320 mm × 200 mm
- 300 mm × 200 mm
- 280 mm × 200 mm
- 260 mm × 200 mm
- 240 mm × 200 mm
In addition to the distinguishing license plate or city abbreviation and the identification number, German license plates also include a sticker for the main inspection (HU) or the emission test (TÃœV). A coloured sticker is attached to the front licence plate containing the coat of arms of the registration district and the information that the vehicle is correctly registered.
H license plates for classic cars
The classic car license plate, also known as the H license plate, is used to identify historic vehicles. It consists of the distinguishing mark of the registration district and an identification number. The special feature is the "H" at the end of the identification number, which indicates the classic car status of the vehicle. A vehicle is only considered a classic car if it is at least 30 years old. In addition, the H license plate is only issued if the car has been professionally restored or is largely preserved in its original condition.
License plates for electric vehicles
The following electric vehicles can receive an E-license plate: fully electric cars, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles. The license plate contains an "E" at the end of the number combination to identify the vehicle as an electric vehicle. Carrying an E-license plate is not mandatory, but voluntary. Many cities want to promote electromobility and therefore offer privileges for vehicles with E-license plates, such as free parking in special parking spaces or the use of designated parking areas.
Seasonal license plates
The seasonal license plate also contains information on the operating period, which is represented by two numbers on the right of the license plate and separated by a dash. These figures indicate the months in which the operating period begins and ends. With a seasonal license plate, both vehicle tax and insurance premiums can be saved, as these are only incurred proportionately to the vehicle owner for the respective period.
Interchangeable license plates
Since 2012, owners of several vehicles have been able to register them with a single license plate, the so-called interchangeable license plate or W license plate. The prerequisite for this is that both vehicles belong to the same vehicle type, for example two cars or two motorcycles. However, since the interchangeable license plate offers hardly any financial or tax advantages, it is rarely used.
Dealer License Plate
The dealer license plate can be recognized by its red letters and is assigned specifically to car dealers and workshops to carry out test, test and transfer drives. Private individuals are only allowed to use it for test drives, for example if they want to buy a vehicle. Characteristic of the dealer license plate is the number "06". Classic car drivers can also use a red license plate, which in this case bears the number "07". This can be used to make trips to workshops or classic car events.
Tax-exempt license plate
Section 3 of the Motor Vehicle Tax Act (KraftStG) specifies which vehicles are exempt from motor vehicle tax. These include trailers for transporting sports equipment or animals as well as agricultural and forestry vehicles. Instead of a license plate with black lettering, these vehicles receive a "green" license plate that shows their tax exemption. By the way, people with disabilities can also apply for a green license plate.
Special license plates in Germany
There are special license plates reserved exclusively for certain vehicles and institutions. Here are some examples:
- BD – for the Bundestag, Bundesrat, Office of the Federal President, Federal Government and Federal Constitutional Court
- BP – for Federal Police
- BW – for the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration
- THW – for Technical Relief
- BBL (for Brandenburg) to THL (for Thuringia) – vehicles of the state governments and state parliaments
- 0 – for diplomatic license plates (additional plates CC for Corps Consulaire and CD for Corps Diplomatique)
- X or Y – for NATO or Bundeswehr
License plate special cases: Certain vehicles such as mopeds or S-pedelecs or other light motorcycles do not require a conventional license plate, but an insurance license plate. This must be reapplied for annually and changes color annually to indicate the traffic year. For motorcycles, there are special, smaller motorcycle license plates that also contain a location abbreviation and an individual identification number
New license plate for Munich: MUC
In addition to the well-known "M", Munich has introduced a second license plate for cars, trucks, motorcycles and other motorcycles since December 1, 2023: the "MUC". This means that thousands of new license plate combinations are now available. The reason for this is the increase in electric vehicles, which has made the available license plates in Munich scarce. However, the new combination does not apply to vehicles with seasonal license plates, H license plates or E license plates, as otherwise the maximum permissible license plate length would be exceeded. In addition, there is the "MB" license plate in the neighboring district of Miesbach, which is available for the more than 100,000 residents.
How to find the vehicle owner based on the license plate
Do you want to know who owns a certain license plate and identify the vehicle owner? This is possible, but only under certain conditions and not free of charge. According to the Fee Schedule for Measures in Road Traffic (GebOSt), a fee of 5.10 euros is charged for written information. For the application, which you can submit to authorities such as the registration office or the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), there must be a valid reason, such as a traffic accident or a traffic hazard. If there is no justified reason, a criminal complaint can be filed for the misuse of the owner data.
Custom license plate: This is how you can reserve it
You can reserve your desired license plate at your responsible vehicle registration authority for a period of 10 to a maximum of 90 days, depending on the authority. Reservations can be made both in person and by phone; in most cases, you can apply for an extension for a fee. It is best to find out more directly from your registration authority. Tip: Many authorities also offer this service online – via the Internet-based vehicle registration (i-Kfz) of the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV).
