Vehicle registration
Every vehicle that drives on public roads must be registered. This
also applies to your new engine home. Apply for registration at
your local Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency.
You must show the following when applying for
registration:
- registration document, Part II / CoC
- insurance coverage
- proof of personal identity or conrmation of registration by a
local authority
- if applicable, power of attorney to register the vehicle
- If applicable, the direct debit authorisation for motor vehicle tax
General inspection
In common with passenger cars new engine homes with a per-
missible total weight up to 3.5 tonnes do not have to undergo a
general inspection for the rst three years after initial registration.
After this they must undergo a general inspection every two years.
Engine homes weighing between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes must under-
go a general inspection every two years during the rst six years
following initial registration. After this a general inspection must
be carried out every year.
2.4 Before driving
The general inspection can be carried out by the German
Technical Surveyance Association (TÜV), the German Engine
Vehicle Surveyance Association (DEKRA) or an ocially appro-
ved expert.
Any changes made to the vehicle that underlie German
Road Traffic Licensing Regulations must be officially
authorised!
If you have any further questions or diculties, your autho-
rised Hobby dealer will always be available to assist you!
