Vehicle registration and deregistration

The Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology has granted the market town of Rimpar, in agreement with the District of Würzburg transferred the tasks of the district administrative authority - registration authority - for changes to vehicle owner details and decommissioning. The responsibility of the district administrative authority remains unaffected by this, so that citizens can still carry out these official acts at the district office.

Since 01.07.2005, the following official procedures can be carried out at the Citizens' Office/Registration Office during opening hours.

Fundamentals:
For changes such as changes of owner, name changes or re-registrations from other districts, the registration office at the Würzburg District Office is still exclusively responsible.

Changes to vehicle owner details for vehicles already registered in the district of Würzburg:
The vehicle must already be registered in the district of Würzburg.
The vehicle owner registered in the vehicle documents moves within a municipality or within the district.
Changes to "Street", "House number" and "Place of residence" must be updated in the vehicle registration document.
Citizens of the district can do this either at the registration authority in the Würzburg district office or at the Ochsenfurt or Rimpar office.

Required are:
- Vehicle registration certificate or the new registration certificate part I
- valid federal identity card (with current address)

Costs:
- 10,80 € Change of holder address

You can have both vehicles registered in the district of Würzburg and external vehicles decommissioned by us.

To decommission a vehicle, you need the vehicle registration certificate or the new registration certificate Part I and both license plates.

Costs of decommissioning:
for vehicles registered in the district and for external vehicles 16.50 euros

Costs see Decommissioning without certificate of destruction plus 5.10 euros for confirmation of the certificate of destruction

Reservation of the license plate:
If you only deregister the vehicle for a short time and later re-register it, you can reserve the license plate of the decommissioned vehicle for 1 year as a permanent license plate.
If you reserve the license plate for another car, the reservation is treated as a desired license plate. The license plate is reserved for 3 months.

For further information please contact Frau Väth, Frau Weidner oder Herr Schäflein and by e-mail at kfz-zulassung@rimpar.de.

Wage Tax

In order to calculate your individual wage tax and pay it to the tax office, your employer needs certain information from you, such as tax class, number of child allowances and church tax characteristics. Previously, these wage tax details were printed on a paper wage tax card. The income tax card with the necessary information was sent to you by the municipal registration office.

The income tax procedure has changed fundamentally since 01.01.2011.

The paper wage tax card is being replaced by the electronic wage tax card. This means that your personal income tax details will be stored in a tax authority database and made available to employers electronically.

In the new procedure only the tax office is responsible for your wage tax deduction details. Therefore, please contact your local tax office directly if you wish to take child allowances into account, change tax class, if the spouses are separated or enter tax-free amounts.

The entry of registration data such as marriage, birth of a child or entry into or exit from the church into the central database of the tax authorities is still carried out by the registration authorities. Please come to the municipal administration office, room no. 208, and bring the relevant documents (marriage certificate, birth certificate, certificate from the registry office confirming that you have entered or left the church), unless the registration office automatically receives a notification from the certifying registry office.

An-, Ab-, Ummeldungen

To avoid unnecessary waiting times when registering, de-registering or re-registering, we ask you to arrange your visit to the town hall and the documents you need to bring with you in advance by calling 09365/8067-220. 

The new Federal Registration Act - what I should know as a citizen Status 01.11.2016

The new Federal Registration Act has been in force since November 1, 2015. This means that new regulations have come into force, which have since been improved with amendments to the Federal Registration Act as of 01.11.2016. Here are important regulations of the Federal Registration Act that citizens must observe, e.g. when moving house:

The obligation to register and deregister with the registration office remains the same as in Germany. Anyone moving into an apartment must register with the registration office within two weeks of moving in.

It is only necessary to deregister an apartment with the registration office if you do not move into a new apartment in Germany after moving out of an apartment. This is the case, for example, if you leave Germany, i.e. if you move abroad or give up a secondary residence. Deregistration is possible at the earliest one week before moving out and must be submitted to the registration office within two weeks of moving out.

In future, anyone moving abroad can leave their address abroad with the registration office when deregistering. The foreign address will be stored in the register of residents.

A secondary residence can be deregistered at the registration office of the main residence or the registration office of the secondary residence that is to be given up.

Für folgende Lebenslagen sieht das Bundesmeldegesetz künftig zusätzlich zu den bereits geltenden Ausnahmen weitere Ausnahmen von der Meldepflicht vor:

  • Anyone who is currently registered with the registration office in Germany and moves into another apartment for a stay of no longer than six months does not have to register or deregister for this additional apartment. In future, you will only have to register for this additional apartment after six months.
  • Persons who otherwise live abroad and are not registered in Germany are only required to register after three months.
  • As long as citizens in Germany are currently registered with the registration authority, they do not have to register if they are admitted to or move into hospitals, nursing homes or other facilities that provide care for people in need of care or disabled people or for home education.

Another new feature is that the "pre-filled registration form", which was previously not used by all registration authorities, must be introduced by all federal states by 2018. The pre-filled registration form is a procedure for the electronic request of registration data by the new registration authority from the previous registration authority during the registration process. This means that in the event of a registration, the registration data is made available to the registration authority at the new place of residence in an automated process, making it unnecessary to enter the data again. This is a simplification for citizens and for the administration. The registration data that is already stored in the registration authority at the previous place of residence is transmitted electronically to the current competent registration authority. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
In addition, the landlord or homeowner has a duty to cooperate in the registration process in order to prevent bogus registrations. The legislator abolished the involvement of the landlord or homeowner when deregistering abroad or deregistering a secondary residence with the first amendment to the Federal Registration Act on 01.11.2016. The landlord or landlady must confirm the tenant's move-in in writing. The Translated with DeepL.com (free version) certificate of residence must always be presented when registering at the registration office. The content of the certificate is stipulated by law.

Information from the population register to private individuals for the purposes of advertising and/or address trading is only permitted if the citizen has previously consented to the transfer of their registration data for these purposes. This consent must be expressly declared to private parties (e.g. mail order companies). It is also possible to submit a declaration to the registration authority that one's own data may be disclosed to private parties for the purpose of advertising and/or address trading. This consent remains valid until it is revoked and does not have to be given again after a move. If no consent has been given, the registration authority may not disclose the registration data for the purpose of advertising and/or address trading.

In addition, data that has been collected for the purpose of commercial address research using information from the population register may not be reused by the data recipient (ban on data pooling). The improper use of earmarked population register information or the reuse of the data can be punished with a fine.

Furthermore, the commercial purpose must be stated in future as part of a simple registration register information request for commercial purposes. The data obtained as part of the information may then only be used for these purposes.

A strict purpose limitation also exists for so-called extended information from the population register, for group information and for data that is not yet available. Information block have been obtained because a risk to the data subject can be ruled out. Once the purpose pursued in each case has been fulfilled, the data recipient must delete the data.


For persons who live in institutions for protection against domestic violence, in institutions for the treatment of addiction, in hospitals, nursing homes or other institutions for the care of people in need of care or disabled people or for residential care, a so-called conditional blocking note is entered in the population register if the registration authority is aware that one of the aforementioned institutions is located at the address in question. In future, the registration authority must hear the person concerned before providing information to private individuals in these cases and may then not provide any information if the information would impair the interests of the person concerned that are worthy of protection.

As a result of the improvements to the protection of personal data when providing information from the population register to private individuals, the option of objecting to the provision of automated population register information to private individuals, which was previously provided for in the registration law, has been removed.

It will probably take 6 - 8 weeks until such a title can be produced and delivered by the Bundesdruckerei. The Immigration Office therefore requests that applications for the issue or extension of residence permits from 01.02.2011 be submitted at least 8 weeks in advance.

In addition to the usual personal data, fingerprints will also be stored on these check cards. This will considerably increase the time spent at the immigration counter.

Defense Detection

As of July 1, 2011, general compulsory military service has been suspended, provided there is no case of tension or defense, and transitioned to voluntary military service. Women and men who are German within the meaning of the Basic Law can undertake to perform voluntary military service in accordance with Section 54 of the Conscription Act. To enable the Federal Office of Defense Administration to provide information on voluntary military service, the registration authority transmits the following data of persons with German citizenship who will come of age in the following year to the Federal Office of Defense Administration by March 31 each year:

Surname, first names and current address

Data subjects have the right to object to the transfer of data. The objection is not subject to any conditions and does not need to be justified. It can be lodged with the registration office of the market town of Rimpar, room no. 208, by means of a Antrag auf Übermittlungssperre eingelegt werden.

If no objection has been raised to the data transfer, the registration authorities will pass on the aforementioned data.
