Change of insurance

In principle, the vehicle owner is obliged to prove to the registration authority that they have liability insurance cover. This also applies when changing insurers, which must be reported to the registration authority. To this end, the insurer must send a corresponding notification directly to the registration authority (electronic insurance confirmation for transmission eVBzurÜbermittlung). It is not possible for the vehicle owner to notify the registration authority directly.

Please contact your insurer exclusively regarding a change of insurer.

Exception: If a vehicle has no insurance cover (proceedings have already been initiated by the vehicle registration authority) and there is a risk of compulsory decommissioning by the vehicle registration authority, the vehicle registration authority may accept an electronic insurance confirmation on demand (eVB on demand) as proof.
