# GermanCarRegistration

> GermanCarRegistration (germancarregistration.com) is an English-speaking car registration service for Germany, operating since 2019. We offer two lawful registration models: Model A (our Brandenburg UG, SRAC Fahrzeugpflege UG (haftungsbeschränkt), appears as registered keeper / Halter; client remains legal owner) and Model B (client is registered as Halter in their own name in the Fahrzeugbrief using apostilled ID, power of attorney and proof of foreign residency). Registration costs €500 one-time plus €99/month billed as one annual payment; converting a vehicle that still carries foreign papers costs an additional €400. Insurance partners: AXA and Zurich. Secure indoor car storage near Berlin from €290/month (~35 min from Berlin Brandenburg Airport BER), TÜV renewal €200, detailing every 4 weeks €120. Coverage: all 16 German states. Typical turnaround: about 5 business days for Model A, 7–14 for Model B. Deregistration is included and takes about 15 minutes remote. Contact: WhatsApp +49 163 8623086.
