Apply for a green licence plate for vehicles and trailers

The application for the allocation of a green licence plate must be submitted to the registration authority in connection with the registration of the vehicle. If your licensing authority requires an application form, you can usually obtain this in advance from the licensing authority or, depending on what the authority offers, download it from the Internet.

The same documents that (depending on the transaction) must also be submitted for the registration of a new vehicle, a decommissioned vehicle or when re-registering a vehicle to another owner.
