Applying for deregistration for a vehicle without registration
Service description
If you no longer wish to use your registration-free vehicle with an allocated licence plate, you can apply to have it taken out of service. This applies, for example, to
- Light motorbikes
- Forklift trucks and self-propelled work machines if they are not labelled for a maximum speed of up to 20 km/h
- Trailers for sports purposes or work machines, if these are not labelled for a maximum speed of up to 25 km/h
Once you have taken the vehicle out of service, you may no longer move it on the road or park it in public areas.
Even after your vehicle has been taken out of service, you can have the vehicle's licence plate reserved for later re-registration for up to one year. This does not apply if the licence plate was kept in another registration district and is taken out of service there.
