Why we review vehicle documents

Before production, we review the vehicle data relevant to the sticker classification. This helps prevent incorrect assignments and follow-up questions.

Only for officially assigned registration numbers
Environmental stickers and E-stickers can only be issued for registration numbers that have already been officially assigned by the competent authority. Planned, reserved or not-yet-issued personalised registration numbers cannot be used.

Which documents do we need?

For the officially recognized issue of your environmental sticker, we need current and clearly legible documents.

Germany

Usually the registration certificate part I / vehicle registration document is sufficient.

Foreign vehicles

Please use the relevant national registration document. For Dutch vehicles, the RDW check in the environmental sticker assistant can be used as an alternative.

Important for good uploads

The complete document must be available. Guidance on photos, scans and permitted redactions is provided below.

Multiple vehicles

If you order several stickers, please clearly assign the documents to the corresponding vehicles.

Green environmental sticker and blue E-sticker – clearly explained

For German low-emission zones

Green environmental sticker

The green environmental sticker is generally decisive for entering many German low-emission zones. We review your vehicle data and documents to determine whether your vehicle qualifies.

  • For petrol, diesel, hybrid and many other vehicles depending on classification
  • Attached inside the windscreen
  • The exact allocation depends on vehicle type and emission standard
Only for EVs & certain plug-in hybrids registered outside Germany

Blue E-sticker

The blue E-sticker is additional identification for eligible electric vehicles and certain plug-in hybrids registered outside Germany. It does not replace the green environmental sticker.

  • Only for eligible vehicles registered outside Germany
  • Placed clearly visible at the rear of the vehicle
  • Can allow the vehicle to be recognised under local EV rules like a German electric vehicle and use the same benefits provided there

Common vehicle documents by market

A first orientation showing which documents are typically used.

Germany

Registration certificate part I / vehicle registration document

Netherlands

Kentekencard or comparable registration document – alternatively use the RDW check in the environmental sticker assistant

France

Carte grise / certificat d’immatriculation

Belgium & other markets

The respective national registration document, complete and clearly legible

Online registration (iKfz): Which documents do we need?

With online registration, you first receive an official decision from the registration authority. Upload this decision in full during the order. For the sticker, it must show in particular the officially assigned registration number, the vehicle identification number and the date of first registration.

If the online decision does not contain all technical data needed for the environmental-sticker classification, please also upload a photo of the previous registration document. For a new vehicle that has never had a registration document, we need the COC papers instead.

Important: incomplete iKfz documents – especially without the date of first registration or sufficient technical vehicle data – are not sufficient for issuing the sticker.
