About the product

i-Kfz – Internet-based vehicle registration

With the completely online-based vehicle registration system (i-Kfz), people no longer need to go to the vehicle registration office but can register and de-register their vehicles on the Internet. The procedure takes place in three stages:

  1. Stage: Online de-registration since 01.01.2015
  2. Stage: Online re-registration since 01.10.2017
  3. Stage: Online registration since 01.10.2019
  4. Stage: Complete automation and simplification of the procedure, starting from 01.09.2023, also for legal entities

Because of the changes to the vehicle registration regulations, visual and functional changes to the stickers are also required. More information about i-Kfz can be found here.

SecuRasta perfect online® online de-registration

I-vehicle punch stickerThe first stage of i-Kfz was implemented on 01.01.2015. Our SecuRasta perfect online® stamp stickers can already be found on many vehicle licence plates.

Stage 1 essentially consists of being able to de-register the vehicle online.

Other stages for Internet-based vehicle registration are currently in the planning.

The second stage of i-Kfz came into force on 01.10.2017. Since then it has been possible for de-registered vehicles to be re-registered to the same holder in the same vehicle licensing district online.

Legal basis: Third regulation for modifying the vehicle licensing regulations and other road traffic law regulations of 23.03.2017, issued by Bonn on 29.03.2017 in Federal Law Gazette No. 14, see Annex 4a “Stamp stickers and sticker carriers”

After re-registration on the Internet, the person receives the relevant stickers from the vehicle licensing office by registered post. These must then be affixed to the license plates immediately. If the HU sticker has elapsed, the first port of call is the TÜV, the DEKRA or another testing institution.

SecuRasta® has developed a concept with which our newly certified sticker carriers can be quickly and easily individually printed in the vehicle licensing office using a conventional office laser printer.

As of October 1st, 2019 the third stage of the i-Kfz has come into force. This means that every vehicle can be registered online.

Legal basis:
§

Fourth Regulation amending the Vehicle Registration Ordinance and other road traffic regulations dated March 22, 2019, issued in Bonn on March 29, 2019 in Federal Law Gazette No. 10.

After registration on the Internet, the citizen obtains the appropriate vehicle registration sticker with the validity stamp and HU badges from Motor Vehicle Department citizens. These must then be fastened onto the license plates immediately.

SecuRasta® has developed a concept with which our new certified registration stickers can be quickly and easily automatically printed at the Motor Vehicle Department using the SecuRasta® SR 730i thermal transfer printer.

i-Kfz stage 4 and the associated vehicle registration ordinance (“FZV”) is coming from 01.09.2023. What’s new?

Did you know that you can decommission, re-register, re-register and re-register your vehicle online? The advantages such as 24/7 accessibility, no travel and possible waiting times are obvious. While this was previously only possible for private individuals, from 01.09.2023 legal entities, i.e. companies, dealers and insurers, will also be able to use this service via a major customer interface at the Federal Motor Transport Authority. Individual registration processes of large volumes from car dealerships and registration service providers can thus be bundled and carried out digitally.

Link to the complete ordinance of the Bundesrat (printed matter 70/23).

From 01.09.2023 it will also be possible to drive off with the vehicle directly after the digital new registration without having to wait for the documents beforehand. A printout valid for ten days will suffice as proof.

Our value printer Safemark® is a long-term authorized manufacturer of the required stamp stickers, HU stickers, sticker carriers and registration certificate part 1 incl. safety label. Furthermore, we offer an automated labeling of the sticker carrier in the form of our thermal transfer printer SR 730i.

Additional background information can also be found at the Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport.

Handling of the sticker carrier

In order to print the license number and the last six digits of the VIN (variable data) on the SecuRasta® sticker carrier, Witte safemark® provides you with a DIN A4 template. One sheet contains two sticker carriers for stamp stickers and one sticker carrier for the HU sticker. The sticker carrier for the HU sticker will not be needed until stage three of i-Kfz, but has already been integrated at SecuRasta®.

Sealing of the variable data

After printing, remove the lower cover paper, fold the entire upper part of the sticker carrier downwards along the lateral perforation and stick firmly to the bottom part of the sticker carrier. This ensures that the variable data is permanently protected. The sticker carrier sheet has two longitudinal perforations. Tear off the part that is required in accordance with the respective licensing procedure. Beschriftung Plakettentraeger

Stamp sticker affixing instructions since 01.10.2017 (Stage 2 of i-Kfz)

With the SecuRasta® stamp sticker, remove the narrow part of the carrier paper at the right-hand side, avoiding the adhesive, and put onto the left-hand and upper edges of the carrier paper so that the edges line up, remove the rest of the carrier paper and stick on the stamp sticker, ensuring that the entire sticker is affixed.

HU sticker affixing instructions (not used until stage 3 of i-Kfz)

With the HU sticker, remove the narrow part of the carrier paper and place the HU sticker with the month of expiry onto the tip of the silver arrow in the dotted edge marking so that it lines up, remove the rest of the carrier paper and stick on the HU sticker, ensuring that the entire sticker is affixed.
