Description

Prerequisites

You can only obtain an exemption if

• your vehicle was registered to you before November 1, 2007 (without sticker) or before January 1, 2010 (red and yellow sticker),
• a technical retrofit is not possible
• you have no alternative vehicles registered in your name, and
• a replacement is not economically reasonable, or
• you are a resident or a tradesman with a company headquarters in the low emission zone.

If all these general requirements are met, you can obtain an exemption for certain journeys, for example:

• Journeys of vehicle traffic in the public interest
• Journeys in important individual cases

Required documents

• Request for derogation

• Registration certificate part I (for newer vehicles) or vehicle registration document (for older vehicles)

• Certificate of technical non-retrofitting

  You can obtain this, for example, from technical inspection organisations (TÜV, DEKRA, GTÜ, KÜS, GTS, FSP). It is valid for one year, but does not replace an exemption permit.

• Proof of the economic unreasonableness of a replacement purchase

  z. e.g. in the case of traders; reasoned opinion of a tax advisor or auditor that a replacement purchase would jeopardise your existence.

• For classic cars without an H registration plate that are older than 30 years:

  • Vintage car certificate (in accordance with § 23 of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations) or
  • corresponding certificate from an AU workshop or technical inspection organisation that such a certificate exists.
