Export plates in Germany

seract

Hi all,

I wonder could someone throw some light on how you go about getting export plates to bring a bike home from Germany.

I understand the owner deregisters the bike but what then and roughly what it costs. Buying privately, Thanks.

When I did this many years ago the seller came with me to the registration office and we did the paperwork together. Then I took out money at the ATM which was conveniently located alongside and went next door to the plate manufacturing place and paid them in cash for the plate/insurance. I’d ask the owner to help out if they can as it would make the process a lot easier. It took about half an hour start to finish. But that was 2006 so maybe things have changed in the meantime. Can’t remember what it cost but it wasn’t huge.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure it probably not much different now.
