Who should I contact?

Vehicle registration authority

Responsibility is based on the place of residence of the vehicle owner, whereby the main residence according to the identity card is decisive. A vehicle can no longer be registered at a secondary residence. In the case of legal entities, it is the registered office of the main branch or the registered office of the branch.
