Zulassung (German registration)

A Zulassungsbescheinigung is a German registration. A Zulassung often contains more information than any other European registration, which is the reason why it it frequently used by the international car industry when exporting a Dutch car.

Why a Zulassung (German registration)?

A zulassung is used to speed up the BPM refund proces. When you export your Dutch vehicle to another EU-country, it is possible to recover the BPM of the vehicle. If you apply for a Zulassung, you are not dependent on the buyer until he provides you with a foreign registration from the country of destination. This unburdens the seller and buyer of many administrative actions.

Conditions:

To obtain a Zulassung, the Dutch registration must comply to the following demands:

The original registration card or part IA (of the old registration certificate) is present.
The original registration part II (proof of export by the RDW).
The European Type of Approval (listed under the letter K on the registration certificate) or the original COC must be present with the vehicle.
The vehicle has a valid APK: at least 5 days from the moment that all original documents have been delivered to Cargo.
For petrol and petrol-hybrid cars between 3 and 4 years old, an original APK report must be present with the car. These vehicles must therefore be inspected (because of German regulations) after their third year.

Exceptions:

For new vehicles an original invoice + an original COC must be provided.
Unfortunately, a Zulassung (German registration) is not an option for vehicles with Gas installations.
