Short-term plates explained simply.
eVB or complete package – we show you the right way to our partners. (Short-term plates are called Kurzzeitkennzeichen in Germany. The eVB is the electronic insurance confirmation.)
You leave our site to order. You will be forwarded to our partners.
A short-term plate that is ready to drive always needs 2 parts
eVB number
Only the proof of insurance. No plate yet, and no permission to drive yet.
Registration + plates
Only after this may you drive. Either you do it yourself, or our partner does it for you.

Why does the complete package cost more than the eVB alone?
Only eVB (from €43.20) – you do this yourself:
- Drive to the registration office (Zulassungsstelle)
- Wait there (often 30–60 min.)
- Have the plates stamped yourself
- Pay the registration fee on site (approx. €12–20)
Complete package (from €150) – our partner does this:
- Registration at the registration office
- No appointment, no queue
- Plates included, express shipping 1–2 working days
- Your effort: only the online order, about 5 minutes
Use the express options of our partners.
