A Brief Description of German License Plates

German car number plates show the place where the car carrying them is registered. Whenever a person changes their main place of residence in Germany, or buys a new car, they are required to buy new number plates. Number plates can be bought which are valid all year round or between 2 to 11 months within any 12 months. This allows people to change between summer and winter cars, such as a convertible and a sedan/saloon without having the time and money wasted for de- and re-registering. Emission test (front plate) and vehicle safety test (rear plate) stickers are also attached to the plate.

The expiry date can be figured out as following: The year is in the center of the sticker and the number on the uppermost is the month. The black marking on the side makes it easy for the police to see the expiring month from the distance. Imagine a clock, then the marking shows the same position as the face of the clock does. For example the black marking is on the left side, so it is the ninth month (or 9 o’clock) and hence the expiry date is 30th September. The colors are repeated every 6 years. The lower sticker is the official “seal” of registration, indeed, at the beginning of the 20th century plates were authorized with ink and a stamp. Motorcycles carry only the rear plate.

Customer Spotlight: Audi A6 3.2 Quattro


Used EEC German License Plate

From Dan:

I have ordered custom plates (TRBO WGN) from you in the past that went on my Passat Wagon.  I was so happy with the quality of these plates that I decided to order a set of used Berlin Plates for my Audi A6 3.2 quattro. Installed them on the car, and these like the TRBO WGN plate look great. Thanks for a great product again.

Thank you,

Dan

Obama European License Plate

This past November election time was a historical event that will be remembered throughout history.  We woke up, got dressed and took the time to place our vote for the next president of the United States of America.  What was different this time around?  Well just about everything.  People were ready for change any way they could get it.  Regardless of your opinion on who should be leading this great country, the people spoke and we have President Elect Barack Obama.  One of our customers is showing their support by putting this plate on their ride:

Funny we haven’t had any orders for a McCain or Palin plate.
