Can I get a temporary plate without valid TÜV (HU)?

Yes, but with restrictions. If the vehicle has no valid TÜV, you will receive the temporary plate with a note in the vehicle document. This only permits driving directly to the nearest inspection station in Imsbach or to a workshop for repairs.

Where can I apply for the temporary license plate?

Under § 16 FZV, you can apply either at the registration office of your primary residence or at the registration office at the vehicle's current location (e.g. place of purchase in Imsbach).

Which eVB number do I need?

You need a special eVB number for temporary plates (5-day coverage). Many insurers credit the fee if the car is subsequently registered with them.

What does it cost and how do I save money?

The official fee is approx. 13.10 euros. Added to this are plate embossing (on site approx. 20-30 €) and insurance. Ordering plates in advance via ZAPP saves significantly compared to local shops.

Am I allowed to drive abroad with a temporary plate?

The temporary plate is a national German plate. In some neighboring countries (Austria, Italy, Switzerland) it is tolerated, but for international transfer an export plate (red stripe) is legally required.
