Ask for the TÜV report too: with a valid German inspection, registration is 11,100 Ft; without it an individual approval procedure is needed, at 57,300 Ft. Germany is an EU member, so there is no customs procedure, but registration tax and transfer duty are payable just the same. - **CRITICAL** — Fahrzeugbrief (Teil II) — The equivalent of the vehicle title. Without it there is no Hungarian plate. - **46,200 FT** — TÜV inspection report — That is how much more it costs without a valid German inspection. - **NO CUSTOMS DUTY** — EU member state — Registration tax and transfer duty do apply, though. ## Which documents are needed for a car imported from Germany? | Hungarian name | Germany equivalent | | --- | --- | | Vehicle registration certificate | Fahrzeugschein / Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I | | Vehicle title | Fahrzeugbrief / Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II | | Proof of technical inspection | TÜV-Bericht / HU-Bericht | | Certificate of conformity | COC / EG-Übereinstimmungsbescheinigung | Plus, in every case - bilingual sales contract or original invoice - the owner’s personal documents - for a company, a company extract and specimen signature [German–Hungarian sales contract A downloadable bilingual contract template.

Registration tax and transfer duty are still payable, though. Since 1 March 2025 registration tax has been calculated on power (kW) and environmental class, not on engine displacement. In German papers the environmental data are in the **Emissionsklasse** field. ## How much does it cost to register a car from Germany? For an average 90 kW, five-year-old passenger car the **basic official cost** **150,000 – 210,000 Ft** , depending on whether there is a valid foreign inspection. These are basic official fees. On top come our service fee and, for a priority case, its fee.

If it is missing, the Hungarian authority may refuse to issue the plate. Always ask for the original before buying — a copy is not enough. **Is the TÜV enough, or is a Hungarian inspection needed too?** If the valid TÜV inspection can be documented, registration administration is enough (11,100 Ft). If the TÜV has lapsed or there is no inspection report, an individual approval procedure and an official technical inspection are required, totalling 57,300 Ft. **How long does registering a German car take?** With complete German papers and a priority slot, as little as one day. The bottleneck is the inspection slot. **Is a CoC needed for a German car?** In most cases no, because the German registration certificate contains the necessary technical and emission data. For electric and hybrid vehicles it is needed, though. **Do you bring home a car bought in Germany?** Yes. We can bring it on a trailer, with a German Kurzzeitkennzeichen or a Hungarian transit plate. We help with the purchase too: we have agreements with several European auction sites.
