Vehicle licence plate: Small licence plate
Service description
When registering a vehicle, it is not uncommon for a request to be made for a smaller licence plate (so-called "US licence plate" or light motorcycle licence plate).
Which documents are required?
- All documents required for the registration of a vehicle. See Vehicle registration: New vehicles
In the event that an application is made for an exemption permit, confirmation from an officially recognised expert is required that it is either not technically possible to attach normal-sized number plates due to the structural characteristics of the vehicle or that disproportionate effort would be required for the conversion to attach a proper number plate. According to case law, conversion costs of up to 10 per cent of the current value of the vehicle are reasonable.
Legal basis
What else should I know?
In the event that an exemption authorisation has been granted, the vehicle must be presented to the registration authority.
