Basics

What is a Vehicle Registration?

Everything important about the Registration Certificate Part I at a glance

The Vehicle Registration (officially: Registration Certificate Part I) is the most important document for your vehicle. It must be carried on every trip and contains all relevant technical data.

In the vehicle registration you will find the following important information:

Field E - VIN

The Vehicle Identification Number (17 digits), unique for every vehicle worldwide. More about VIN

Field P.2 - Power in kW

The engine power in kilowatts. Multiply by 1.36 for the HP figure. More about kW and HP

Field V.7 - CO2 Emissions

The CO2 emission value in g/km, relevant for vehicle tax calculation. More about CO2 values

Field 2.1/2.2 - HSN/TSN

The manufacturer code and type code, essential for insurance comparisons and spare parts orders. More about HSN/TSN

While the registration certificate (Part I) must be carried, the vehicle title (Registration Certificate Part II) should be kept safely at home. It serves as proof of ownership.

Where is the HP number on the registration?

Engine power is shown on the registration in Field P.2 in kilowatts (kW), not directly in HP. All details about Field P.2

Conversion: kW × 1.36 = HP. Example: 110 kW × 1.36 = approx. 150 HP

Our app automatically converts and displays both values.

What is the difference between HSN and TSN?

The HSN (Manufacturer Code) in Field 2.1 identifies the vehicle manufacturer (4 digits). More about HSN

The TSN (Type Code) in Field 2.2 designates the exact vehicle type (3 characters). More about TSN

You need both numbers for insurance comparisons and spare parts orders.

How do I calculate vehicle tax?

Vehicle tax is calculated from engine displacement, CO2 emissions and first registration. With our integrated calculator, you can automatically determine the exact amount.

Simply scan your registration - all relevant data is recognized and the tax is calculated.

Good to know

Essential knowledge about vehicle registration

What should I know about vehicle registration documents?

The vehicle registration consists of two parts: Part I (registration certificate) must be carried during every drive. Part II (vehicle title) is the ownership document and should be kept safely at home.

Both documents contain technical vehicle data such as VIN, engine displacement, power output and are required for registration/deregistration.

Lost registration certificate – what to do?

Apply for a replacement at the registration office. You will need: ID card, vehicle title (Part II), affidavit of loss, and the last inspection report.

Costs vary between €11–50 depending on the authority. In case of theft, also file a report with the police.

What is the VIN and where can I find it?

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is the 17-digit "fingerprint" of your vehicle. It is listed in Field E of the registration certificate.

The VIN is also stamped in the engine compartment and door frame. You need it for spare parts, recall actions and vehicle history checks.

Driving without registration – what penalty?

Driving without registration certificate costs a €10 warning fine. If others are endangered, the fine increases to €25.

Important: A copy or photo of the registration is not valid – the original must be carried. Color copies can even raise suspicion of document forgery!

What towing capacity am I allowed?

The permitted towing capacity is listed in Fields O.1 and O.2: O.1 = braked (with own brakes), O.2 = unbraked (max. 750 kg).

License note: With class B, the combination may weigh max. 3.5 t. For heavier trailers, you need BE or B96.
