For Belgian residents
German Car Registration for Belgium Residents
As a Belgian resident you can register a car in Germany via Model A (our Brandenburg UG appears as keeper, ~5 business days) or Model B (own-name registration in the Fahrzeugbrief with an apostilled Belgian passport, notarised procuration/volmacht and proof of BE residency). Both are lawful under FZV and insured through our AXA or Zurich partnership.

Common questions from Belgian residents
Is this a lawful alternative to Belgian registration?
It is a lawful German registration for a car that lives in Germany. Belgian residents whose car is habitually used in Belgium remain subject to Belgian registration duty. The setup fits owners whose car is genuinely based in Germany.
Can I collect the car from BER on visits?
Yes — airport delivery from Bernau to BER is available on request.
