Knowledge & FAQ

Everything important about digital vehicle registration with Zevra – sorted by topic and area.

General questions

Does my customer need an activated online ID (eID)?
No. Zevra handles the registration via power of attorney with a qualified electronic signature (QES) – your end customer needs no activated online ID.
Does this work nationwide?
Yes. Zevra uses the nationwide i-Kfz procedure – one process and one price, regardless of the registration office.
What does a registration cost?
From €25 per case. The price drops automatically with your monthly volume (€35 / €30 / €25). Deregistration €4.80. Official fees are added 1:1.
Is there a base fee or minimum volume?
No. No monthly base fee and no minimum volume. A one-time setup fee of €250 applies (incl. standing power of attorney).
How does billing work?
You pay per case and receive one monthly consolidated invoice. Official fees are charged in advance.
Is this legally safe?
Yes. We use the official i-Kfz procedure and the qualified electronic signature. The sovereign decision remains with the registration authority – Zevra prepares the case and submits it digitally.
Can I connect Zevra to my dealer system?
An API / DMS connection is planned so that cases can be started directly from your system.
What is a standing power of attorney?
You authorise us once, digitally. After that you can register as often as you like without signing new documents for each vehicle.
