Munich strictly separates dealers from the private customer counter and, with MUC, has a second district code with its own online limits. This page sums up what the city itself publishes.
Zevra is the B2B platform for digital vehicle registration for car dealers, registration services and fleets: cases are entered in the dealer portal and filed nationwide by power of attorney with qualified electronic signature – from €10 per registration, no base fee, no minimum volume.

Who is responsible for vehicle registration in Munich?
The vehicle registration authority of the City of Munich at Eichstätter Straße 2 is responsible. Some cases are also handled by the citizens' offices (Bürgerbüros) of the Kreisverwaltungsreferat – but registration services and vehicle dealers are not served there.
How does Munich serve dealers and registration services?
Dealers and registration services and their authorised representatives are not served at the general counter. The table shows the 4 contact points.
| Point | For dealers and registration services |
|---|---|
| General counter | no service |
| Dealer boxes of the registration office | hand-in of application documents under the applicable rules |
| Dealer counter | appointment for out-of-town dealers |
| Citizens' offices | no service |
The city also provides a checklist for dealers as a PDF.
What applies to out-of-town dealerships in Munich?
A dealership not based in Munich can, besides the dealer boxes, also book an on-site appointment for individual registrations. The service is intended exclusively for motor dealers; the authority does not process appointments booked by private individuals. 4 documents must always be presented.
- registration power of attorney, completed and signed, with the principal's ID as a copy and the representative's ID in the original
- collection power of attorney with the same IDs
- for legal entities, companies and associations: commercial or association register extract, not older than 3 years, and trade registration
- the keeper's consent to disclosure of the vehicle tax situation
For a new registration, the CoC, the assigned registration certificate part II, a SEPA mandate and the eVB are added. The city names cash and EC card (Girocard) as payment methods.
What should be noted about M and MUC?
Since 1 December 2023 you can choose between the district codes M and MUC in Munich. For MUC, 5 special points apply online.
- MUC cannot currently be reserved online; it is applied for on site when the vehicle is registered.
- In the online registration office, a new registration or new assignment with MUC is not yet possible.
- A MUC plate can be deregistered online.
- If the MUC plate is to be kept, a transfer is also possible online.
- Narrow motorcycle plates of 180 mm x 200 mm are only available in combination with MUC.
Which cases can only be done at the registration office in Munich?
Registration certificate part II must always be presented in the original. If a bank or leasing company sends the document, the application is possible only at the registration office. The same applies, among others, to these cases.
- registering or deregistering a brand-new vehicle
- short-term and seasonal plates
- registration and transfer of classic vehicles (H plate) and assignment of E plates
- registrations with foreign vehicle documents
- vehicles that have been out of service for more than 7 years
