Digital revolution: Vehicle registration now conveniently available via app in Rottweil!

A digital vehicle registration document (DFZ) has been introduced in the Rottweil district, replacing the classic registration certificate Part I. Since last weekend, drivers have been able to use this new service via the “i-Kfz” app, reports Black Forest messenger. The demand for this digital document is high, although it is not necessary to apply to the admissions office. Anyone interested should know that the DFZ is always at hand and can be passed on digitally to third parties. Reminders of upcoming appointments such as the general inspection are also automatically organized in the app.

But what do you need to enjoy the digital vehicle license? In order to apply for the DFZ via the app, you need an identity card or residence permit that has an activated online identification function (eID), including the associated PIN. At the moment, this innovative form of approval is only available to private individuals, but in the future legal entities could also use the advantages of the DFZ, like this Federal Motor Transport Authority communicates.

Advantages of the digital vehicle registration document

The advantages of the digital vehicle registration certificate are convincing across the board. Users benefit from less paperwork and simplified vehicle data management. A digital vehicle registration document can not only be passed on quickly - whether on site using a QR code or online via a link - but also offers reminders of important appointments through automatic updates.

• Vereinfachte Verwaltung und Nutzung des Fahrzeugscheins.
• Erleichterte Weitergabe an Dritte.
• Automatische Erinnerungen an Hauptuntersuchungen.
• Weniger Papierkram durch digitale Verfügbarkeit.

Another plus point: The app is available free of charge for Android (from version 12) and for iOS (from version 17) and allows users to have their vehicle documents at hand at all times. The Federal Ministry of Transport also relies on comprehensive digitalization in the automotive sector, which makes it easier for citizens to register, de-register and re-register vehicles online and thus save waiting times at the registration office.

Imagine your cell phone becoming your most important document manager - that's exactly what's possible with the DFZ. During police checks, the digital vehicle registration document must be current; For security purposes, there is also the option of register query. Important: If you lose the device, you must apply for a new DFZ as the old one becomes invalid.

The introduction of this digital innovation shows that the future of driving in Germany is in the fast lane. Drivers can now look forward to faster, easier and paperless access to their vehicle documents.
