At a glance
The costs of a registration consist of the official fee, the licence plates and shipping. Internet-based registration (i-Kfz) is generally cheaper regarding the official fee than the in-person appointment. The following amounts are typical example values – you see the specific final price before completing the order.
This guide applies to all registration offices in Erlangen-Höchstadt.
Official fees (example values)
The official fee depends on the procedure and is charged by the registration office. It is a pass-through cost and applies either way – in person or online. Typical amounts:
- New registration (i-Kfz): around €18–22
- Transfer / change of keeper (i-Kfz): around €18–22
- Change of address: around €4–6
- Taking out of service (i-Kfz): around €4–8
- Personalised plate: around €13 on top (assignment plus reservation)
Additional costs: plates and shipping
If new plates are assigned, the cost of the embossed plates is added – these start at around €11.95 depending on type and size. In addition there is shipping of the plates, stickers and documents by post.
When keeping the plates or with a simple change of address, the plate costs usually do not apply.
What an in-person appointment costs on top
The official fee is only part of the bill. Going to the office adds travel and parking, waiting time on site and often a second visit if documents are missing. As most offices only open on weekdays and for limited hours, this usually means taking time off work – for half a working day that quickly exceeds the fee itself. Online, none of this applies: you complete the procedure in minutes from home, documents and stickers arrive by post.
