Abmeldungsbescheinigung [ENG]

    Hi all,


    Sorry for using the English language, but it might be better with respect to making myself clear.


    I have just imported a German 3.8 to Belgium last week. Now I have imported other cars in the past and when doing this, I was given a green paper about 20cm high and 15cm wide which stated "Abmeldungsbescheinigung für den Fahrzeughalter".


    The thing now is, that when I bought the 3.8, this car had new papers (I believe this has changed in Germany somewhere at the end of 2005). Anyway, instead of getting this green paper, I got something called "Zulassungbescheinigung Teil I" on which is indicated the following: "vorübergehende Stillegung" dated, stamped and everything. I explicitly asked the seller if this is what supposed to be the old green paper and he acknowledged this. It also seems logical since everything is indicated on this paper and this proofs that the car is no longer registered in Germany, or might I be wrong on this one?


    Today I went to the Belgian customs authorities, and they refused to clear my car for import because I didn't have this old green paper. I have searched, as good as I could, on German sites what the deal is exactly, and I have found that these new documents replace the old Fahrzeugbrief and so on.


    I know just want to know if the Belgian customs are not up to date, and I have to push further, or I have to go back to Germany and ask for this paper after all? I'm really hoping that it's the first option since I have no more time until the end of January to take a holiday and I would have to stall the car until then :| ...


    I would really appreciate an insight in how this is now regulated in Germany.


    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Bjorn,


    I've imported my M5 from England having lots of fun with the GB and German authorities.


    The green paper is definitely required !


    What you've got are the new German papers (that's ok) with a suspension, that means the car has been temporarily suspended and can be easily re-registered in Germany.


    What you need is a final deregistration of the car (that's the green sheet) which means that the car no longer exists in Germany. This deregistration has to be made in Germany and than the car will be declared for "Export".


    I suggest that you go to a German "Zulassungsbehörde" near the Belgium frontier. Because you're the new owner you can do the deregistration by yourself.

    Hi Andreas,


    Thank you very much for your insight. Ok, that makes it clear then. Good to know I can do this in any office myself. I assume that I only need to take along the two parts of the new documents, my passport and the invoice for the car?


    Thank you very much!

    I think this is sufficient.


    Another possibility is to ask a Belgium car dealer near the frontier to manage this. Of course they want to get paid for this service but certainly they're familiar with this process.


    Good luck !
