Some historic vehicles qualify for an exemption, but age alone is not enough. Check the registration and evidence required for your vehicle.

Vehicles registered outside Germany

The national rules address qualifying historic vehicles from other EU, EEA and Turkish registrations as well as German historic registrations. Check the precise requirements and carry the required evidence. A vehicle from another country should not be assumed exempt without checking the applicable rules.

Before you buy

Check your destination and the registration documents we need. If you are unsure whether an exemption applies, ask us before you order.
