If you choose the credit card format, this costs an additional €28.10. The card will be sent to you by post after you have applied for it. Until then, you will receive a provisional paper registration certificate from the registration office.
PS: You can also exchange an existing paper registration certificate for a card at a registration office. The costs are the same as for a new issue.

- Reservations that are not taken will expire after 5 years.
- A custom license plate cannot be transferred.
- If you do not want to renew the old optional license plate when the deadline expires and you do not want to apply for a different optional license plate, you must exchange the optional license plate for a normal license plate.
- If you don't want the number plate you want, you only have to pay the fees for the new standard number plate.
- Each vehicle must be registered separately and a registration certificate is issued for each vehicle.
- The vehicles must belong to the same upper group (car, motorcycle,...).

Cost
Additional costs apply for registering an additional vehicle with an
existing license plate. The amount of these costs are individual and
please ask your admissions office. Motor vehicle liability insurance, on
the other hand, is only payable for one vehicle and is calculated based
on the vehicle with the highest horsepower.
If an exchangeable number plate is assigned by the authorities, the premium assessment is based on the position of the vehicle with the highest premium. If several vehicles that are subject to the engine-related insurance tax are registered under a variable number plate, the engine-related insurance tax only has to be paid for the vehicle that has the highest tax burden.
Required documents for registering a variable number plate:- Official photo identification or power of attorney
- Vehicle documents
- Registration certificate of all vehicles
- Sale or lease agreement
- Insurance confirmation
You have moved or changed your name? This may also be relevant for your vehicle registration.
Authority abbreviation remains the same
If the authority abbreviation in the license plate (e.g. "W") remains
the same when moving, nothing has to be done regarding the vehicle
registration. This therefore also applies to a move within Vienna (e.g.
from the 3rd to the 10th district). The change in the registration
record is done in the background by the registration office. The
registration certificate with the old data remains still valid.
Authority abbreviation changes, authority remains the
same
If the authority abbreviation in the license plate changes due to a
move, but the same (registration) authority is still responsible, the
change must be reported
- License plate number
- Vehicle documents
- Registration certificate
Authority abbreviation and authority change
If the authority abbreviation in the license plate changes due to a move
and a different authority is responsible for the new main residence, a
de-registration and a new registration of the vehicle must be done.
