VEHICLE REGISTRATION INFORMATION
HISTORICAL LICENSE PLATES
To qualify for historical license plates in Germany a vehicle must be 30 years old or more. Prior to obtaining Historical License plates, a vehicle must be certified by German Government Authorities at TÜV, DEKRA, or other agencies sanctioned by the German Government. The fee for the certification inspection may vary with the type of vehicle. When completed the owner must bring the inspection/certification documents to the local Field Registration Station to order Historical plates. At this time the plates will be ordered and the owner will be issued temporary registration plates pending receipt of the permanent plates. Historical Vehicles will be registered for a period of 12 months from receipt of their temporary plates. In order to renew on a yearly basis, owners will get their vehicle inspected at the military P.O.V. Inspection station up to 75 days prior to expiration to allow sufficient time for difficult repairs and/or ordering of parts. Once a vehicle has been classified as a Historical Vehicle, it will not be required to be re-evaluated by TÜV, DEKRA, or other agencies sanctioned by the German Government in the future unless modifications are made to the vehicle that would change its current status.
If the owner of a registered Historical vehicle sells the vehicle or moves to another community in USAREUR, there is no need for the vehicle to go back to TÜV or DEKRA. If the vehicle was previously registered in the German system, the Green Registration certificate “Zulassungsbescheinigung” indicating "H" license plates also means the vehicle has been certified and accepted by the German authorities. If you have questions please call USAREUR RMV Customer Service: DSN- 542-2021/2022/2023 CIV- 0611-143-542-2021/2022/2023.
Attention Motorcycle Owners!

Current requirements are:
1. Applicant must be in possession of a valid Civilian Stateside Driver's
License with a motorcycle endorsement or country license with a Motorcycle
Endorsement or a country Motorcycle License.

standard POV training and testing prior to applying for the motorcycle
endorsement.
3. Pass a 30 Question written examination.
4. This interim change is now in effect pending the forthcoming update of AER
190-1. Military personnel should check with their local driver's testing station
for licensing and training requirements listed in AR 385-10.

A Request for Waiver to the Limit of POVs authorized to Register (AE Form
190-1AG) is required when you need to exceed your limit on number of POVs.
Single and married unaccompanied personnel are authorized two regular POVs and
one recreational POV (motorcycle, trailer, camper).
Married accompanied personnel are authorized three regular POVs and two
recreational POVs (motorcycle, trailer, camper).
Unit commanders may approve waiver requests for personnel (military and
civilians) in their commands. USAG/MSG commanders for all other
civilians. Approval authority cannot be delegated.
APPOINTING AN AGENT TO OPERATE, SHIP, SELL OR DISPOSE OF YOUR POV:
If you are unable to ship, sell or otherwise dispose of your POV before
departing the command, an agent may be appointed on AE Form 190-1AD (Special
Power of Attorney to Operate, Register, Sell, or Otherwise Dispose of a
Privately Owned Vehicle (POV)). Your local Field Registration Station (FRS) has
these forms; upon completion they are only valid for 90 days. This form must be
witnessed and dated at the FRS or the local staff judge advocates office, and
then can be accepted as agent appointment. A person can only be an agent for one
POV at a time and must sign a statement of responsibility, which will legally
obligate them to complete the transaction.
A power of attorney is granted when both owner and agent appear together at the
FRS and complete AE Form 190-1AD in the presence of the station clerk. The clerk
will verify the identities of both the sponsor owner and the agent and ensure
both are eligible to register a POV with the RMV. The agent must also be a
sponsor and must read and sign AE Form 190-1AF. For military personnel, the
agent must be of equal or higher grade than the owner.
Both owner and agent must be present. If under joint or co-ownership, we
need authorization from the individual being removed from the registration
(power of attorney or notarized statement).

any change of personal information. This is very important for mailing out of
renewal notices and other related information.

NOTE: Your name must be on the registration as an owner, not additional
driver, in order to update any information.
A spouse may update information when presenting a valid power of attorney.
License plates must be attached to the front and the rear of the POV so that
both plates are clearly visible. The rear plate must be centered under a lighted
license plate mount or placed between lights on either side.
Motorcycles and trailers must display one plate attached to the rear.
Plates must be firmly attached to the POV using bolts, screws, or brackets. Use

numbers and letters are not obstructed. Plates may not be covered with plastic
or glass, cut, altered, defaced, forged or displayed in any other manner
not authorized.

screws or a bracket.
Old license plates or signs may not be attached to the plates. The plates may
not be bent to fit the POV. The size of your license plate area is the
determining factor whether the long or short plates are suitable for your POV.
LOST OR STOLEN PLATES OR VEHICLE:
You must immediately report a stolen POV or lost/stolen plate(s) to your nearest
MP/SP station. You will be issued an alarm number. Should you need replacement
plates, take this form to your local Field Registration Station along with your

The renewal notice is mailed to your current military address; so please ensure
you keep your address current on all your POV registrations.

TIP: Consider separating the copies of your registration. Keep one copy on your
person, one copy in the POV and another at your residence. This should help
prevent losing all copies when together. Any copy may be used for installation
access.
Temporary plates can only be issued by the community where you are stationed
Initially issued for up to a 30 day period so that your POV may be driven to the inspection point for mechanical safety inspection. Upon passing inspection, the plates are then exchanged for the German style plates. The type of plate (long or short or in combination) for your POV will depend on the size of the area where plates are to be mounted and is determined by the inspection station.
German plates can only be issued by the community where you are stationed.
If temporary registration plates were not returned on time causing the
registration to be cancelled ("X" failed to re-register), the customer is
responsible to pay for any new registration in order to return the vehicle to an
active registration status.
You must return to original place of issue to finalize this transaction as
only they have your supporting documents and money.
Temporary plates cannot be extended.
When your POV cannot pass inspection after this 30 day period, it MUST be
registered as non-operational. Check with your local community for guidance, as
some Army communities require local United States Army Garrison (USAG) approval;
and Air Force communities may require Mission Support Group (MSG) approval.
THE "10-YEAR RULE" WHEN TRANSFERRING, SELLING OR GIVING YOUR POV TO ANOTHER ID CARD HOLDER
Transferring, selling, or giving away your POV with plates to another ID card holder when that POV is 10 years or older requires passing a mechanical safety inspection or proof of inspection within the last 30 days prior to transfer. Bring the Vehicle Mechanical Safety Inspection Record (AE Form 190-1H) or registration application (AE Form 190-1AA or 190-1O) stamped by the inspection station.
We will make a third plate for your POV bike rack for an additional fee. Complete an Application For Motor Vehicle Registration and Allied Transactions (AE Form 190-1AA), take it to your local Field Registration Station (FRS); they will verify completeness, sign and stamp and forward the form to us for processing. We will make the 3rd identical plate for the selected POV and send it to your local FRS for you to pick up. The plate will not have any expiration or state decal and may only be used for a bike rack; it must not be mounted on the POV.

TRANSFERRING,
SELLING OR GIVING YOUR NON-OPERATIONAL POV TO ANOTHER ID CARD HOLDER:

USAG Commander(USAREUR) or MSG Commander (USAFE) approval.

Form 190-1AA)
Inspection requirements: A safety inspection will be required if the
registration will expire within 60 days, or if the vehicle being transferred is 10
years or older it must be inspected within 30 days prior to transfer. When a POV
is less than 10 years old, we do not require a new inspection; the buyer may
retain seller’s expiration date provided there is more than 60 days left on
seller’s registration.
When a POV passes the inspection, the buyer will get a new one or two-years
(if eligible)
registration.

POV Waiver when required.
TIP: We cannot recognize or acknowledge the transfer, sale or giving of your POV
to another ID card holder unless both parties go to the local Field Registration
Station (FRS) and formalize that transaction. We strongly advise the seller NOT
to cancel insurance on the POV until then. Often the current owner/seller has
cancelled their insurance and the buyer then purchases insurance on that same
POV thinking they now have coverage because they "own" it. Upon arrival at the
local FRS they may discover that the registration has been cancelled as the
seller cancelled their insurance. The local FRS will give an insurance
cancellation form to seller when the transaction is conducted.
TWO (2) OR THREE (3) YEARS REGISTRATION:
A POV that is ten (10) model years old (including current year) or less is eligible for a two year registration. See appropriate fee. The year of the eligible POVs will change each January of the new year. This includes recreational vehicles such as motorcycles, campers and trailers.
NOTE: Brand new vehicles (registered no more than three (3) months in any system) have the option to register for three (3) years.

You must fill out the Request for POV Registration/Insurance Cancellation (AE FORM 190-1S) to de-register your POV.
DISPLAYING REGISTRATION DECALS:
Expiration Decals are issued with initial registrations, renewals; and transfers
as needed. The color of the decal
will change each year in line with the German system. The decal is affixed on the
reat plate with the
expiration month at the 12 o’clock position.
International "D" Decal may be purchased and needs only to be displayed on the
rear of your POV when crossing international borders outside of EU countries.
DISPOSING OF YOUR POV THROUGH MWR:
Plates, unless non-operational
Lien release when applicable; MWR cannot accept a POV with a lien on it
First copy of registration
Certification of Release/Donation of POV (AE FORM 190-1Z) issued and signed by

Our policy is that only powers of attorney between spouses are accepted.

Members of the U.S. Forces and the civilian component (including family members) who are assigned or employed within the geographic boundaries of Germany are considered as having logistical support and therefore authorized our services. Whenever you wish to do a transaction, you must provide a valid ID card and U.S. Forces Certificate of License when plates are issued. The first vehicle you register in our system requires a copy of your orders or official memorandum verifying full logistical support.
PROOF YOUR POV LOAN HAS BEEN PAID OFF WITH A LIEN RELEASE OR CLEAR TITLE:
When your POV has a lien, it cannot be sold, transferred, disposed of or given to another party unless you prove the lien has been satisfied with a lien release or a clear title. A lien release must identify make, model, year, chassis (VIN) number, financial institution, and name of owner.
