Service Description

The European Vehicle Register (EVR) records all railroad vehicles subject to registration in the European Union. If you have a railroad vehicle with a German vehicle number and the data recorded in the EVR has changed, you must notify the Federal Railway Authority (EBA) immediately.
Such changes may concern

  • the status of the railroad vehicle
  • the ownership of the railroad vehicle
  • the address of responsible persons, for example your own, that of the owner or that of the person responsible for maintenance
  • non-technical data, for example data
    • on responsible persons
    • the authorization for placing on the market
    • the EC declaration of verification
    • the ERATV reference and
    • on bi- and multilateral agreements
