Service Description

Certain vehicles that are exempt from vehicle tax are given a green license plate.

Certain vehicles exempt from vehicle tax have license plates with green lettering and a green border on a white background. These include vehicles belonging to non-profit organizations, agricultural and forestry vehicles and certain trailers.

If the requirements for a green license plate are no longer met, the main customs office may impose a vehicle tax. From this point on, the green license plate is invalid and must be changed to black.

Procedure:
The application for the allocation of a green license plate must be submitted to the registration authority in connection with the registration of the vehicle. If your registration authority requires an application form, you can usually obtain this from them in advance or, depending on what the authority offers, download it from the Internet.
