Applying for a transfer block for the vehicle register

Service description
As a vehicle owner, your personal data and that of your vehicle are stored by the local registration authorities and the Central Vehicle Register (ZFZR) of the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA).

In certain cases, other persons, companies or authorities may receive information about your data there.

As the vehicle owner, you can prevent this data from being passed on. To do this, you can apply to your local registration authority to block the transfer of your data.

To do so, you must be able to credibly demonstrate that the disclosure of your data violates your legitimate interests and poses a significant threat to your life, health or personal freedom. This may be the case, for example, if
- Threat
- Insult
- Stalking
Other persons may also be jeopardised by the disclosure of your data.

In individual cases, transmission is possible despite blocking, in particular for the prosecution of criminal offences or if legal claims are to be asserted against you. This is the case, for example, if you have caused an accident. You will be given the opportunity to comment on this before your data is transferred.
Who should I contact?
Licensing authority
Prerequisites
You can credibly demonstrate that the disclosure of your data from the vehicle register would violate the interests of you or other persons worthy of protection and that there is a risk to life, health or personal freedom, for example.
What deadlines do I have to observe?
- The transmission block applies indefinitely until revoked.
- There is no application deadline.
Legal basis
- § Section 41 (1) to (3) of the Road Traffic Act (StVG)
- § Section 71 Ordinance on the Registration of Vehicles for Road Traffic (Fahrzeug-Zulassungsverordnung - FZV)
