Vehicles must be assigned to class M1, N1, L3e, L4e, L5e or L7e. Class N2 vehicles can be issued an E license plate if they can be driven in Germany with a class B driver's license up to a gross vehicle weight of 4,250 kg.

The E license plate bears the letter "E" after the identification number. It can also be assigned as a changeable license plate or as a seasonal license plate.

• Evidence of compliance by means of an EC certificate of conformity or a manufacturer's data confirmation.
• further approval documents are dependent on the approval process (see under "Related topics")

Fees

• The costs of the respective registration process apply (see under "Related topics"). You can apply for the E license plate when registering a new vehicle and each time you change the registration of your vehicle.

  If you want to provide your vehicle with an E-plate, costs of 27.50 to 31.20 euros are incurred.

  There are additional fees for reserving and choosing a vanity plate.
