By Editorial Team Digital Vehicle Registration · iKfz-Plattform Bayern · Updated on 09.11.2026

This guide is aimed at everyone who wants to complete an i-Kfz procedure online in Landkreis Bamberg – including the specifics and responsibilities for Landkreis Bamberg.

At a glance

For internet-based vehicle registration (i-Kfz), you need the hidden security codes on your vehicle documents and license plate seals. All Registration Certificates Part I and plate seals issued since January 1, 2015, and Part II certificates issued since January 1, 2018, feature these codes.

This guide applies to all registration offices in Landkreis Bamberg.

Step by step

  1. 1Check issue date. Ensure your Part I was issued from 2015 onwards (Part II from 2018 onwards).
  2. 2Peel off gently. Carefully peel off the protective film or use a flat plastic card instead of metal tools.
  3. 3Enter code or select damaged option. Type the code into the online form or enable the “Code unreadable / damaged” toggle if needed.

1. Security code on Registration Certificate Part I (Fahrzeugschein)

On the back of your Fahrzeugschein (issued from 2015 onwards), there is a peel-off protective film covering a 7-character alphanumeric security code.

2. Security codes on the license plate seals (Stempelplaketten)

For online deregistration or a license plate change, uncover the 3-character codes under the state seals on both plates:

  • Peel off the colored state seal carefully or use a flat plastic card.
  • Do not use a sharp knife, screwdriver, or coin so the code beneath remains legible.

3. Security code on Registration Certificate Part II (Fahrzeugbrief)

For new registration, transfer of ownership, or re-registration, peel off the silver film on the bottom right of the front side of Part II (issued from 2018 onwards).

Frequently asked questions about vehicle registration in Landkreis Bamberg

Can I uncover the security codes days before submitting my application?
No. Only uncover the security codes during the online procedure, as uncovering them invalidates the document and seals for regular road use.
What if the security code gets damaged while uncovering it?
Start your procedure online as usual, enable the toggle “Code unreadable / damaged” directly below the input field, and follow the smartphone photo upload prompt.
