Practical guide for this service →

Change of ownership

Bring identification and transfer details. The registration method determines whether a certificate, transfer notification or notification section is used. The vehicle is usually not needed at the station for a simple ownership change.

Plate matters and changes to registration details

Tell us whether you need a replacement for a lost or damaged plate or a change to registration details. Plate type and delivery method affect price and completion time.

Document-only transactions usually do not require the vehicle on site. If a change to technical details requires a vehicle inspection, a separate modification or registration inspection may be needed.

Good to know before booking

Does the vehicle need to be brought to the station?

The vehicle is usually not needed for a standard ownership change or plate order. A technical change may require a separate inspection.

Can I handle the matter on someone else’s behalf?

Yes, if your authority to act can be verified. Bring your identification and the required authorisation.

Can I get a new plate immediately?

Plate availability depends on the order and plate type. The station will tell you the price, delivery time and collection method before ordering.
