eVB and car insurance
To register a vehicle in Germany you usually need an electronic confirmation of insurance (eVB). It is issued by an insurer — not by an authority and not automatically by this website.
The usual process
1 · Clarify vehicle details
Vehicle type, planned registration date and keeper details are collected.
2 · Choose a tariff
Third-party liability, partial or fully comprehensive cover, deductibles and further modules are discussed.
3 · Request the eVB
The insurer issues the eVB number if the requirements are met.
4 · Registration
With the eVB and the remaining documents, registration takes place at the responsible registration office.
