License plates: prohibited combinations in Germany. Car numbers: forbidden combinations in Germany How to spell a German cell phone number

It would seem that after buying a car it could be easier to get or buy a registration plate. It turns out that the "rectangular tin" is not as simple as it seems. For example, in Germany, cars cannot be assigned numbers with a certain combination of letters.

But first, let's figure out what the letters on the registration numbers of German cars generally mean. Firstly, the letters and numbers of the number themselves must be applied in black paint on a white background in a special font, which sounds like Falschungserschwerende Schrift in German. By the way, in Russian it will sound - making it difficult to falsify. The letters themselves on the car numbers mean the city in which the car owner lives. B - for Berlin, M - for Munich, K - Cologne, etc. It is worth noting that numbers with one letter have big cities West Germany. Smaller cities have three letters in the registration plate, denoting the city itself and the area in which it is located.

Any car owner in Germany can purchase individual beautiful numbers for a car, while everything will be legal, you just need to pay an additional 12 euros. The only thing to consider is that the registration letters correspond to the city of residence. So, residents of the city of Pirna can buy a PIR-AT 69 number, and a resident of Kiel - KI-LL 666. Also in Germany, numbers with initials are popular, for example, Peter Jackson can get a number - B-PJ 87 (numbers can indicate the year of birth).

It is not recommended or allowed to put numbers with a combination of letters reminiscent of the times of Nazi Germany. So, it is not recommended to "" put numbers of this kind: SS-45 (SS detachments), SA - assault squads, KZ - concentration camp, etc. An exception may be made for those whose initials have such an abbreviation. Getting beautiful numbers with H at the end is also considered original. To obtain a registration plate K-AA 100N, you must have a classic thirty-year-old car with original parts under the hood.

If we draw an analogy with beautiful and golden numbers in cellular communications, then one can hardly find any prohibitions on their use by the authorities. Here, the buyers of beautiful rooms themselves make the ban for themselves. For example, not everyone will choose to buy the number 666-66-66 due to superstitious considerations. Others, on the contrary, will buy the number 777-77-77 with great pleasure, believing that it will bring them good luck.

It is up to you to believe or not to believe in the magic of numbers when choosing numbers, whether it be car registration numbers or numbers of mobile operators.

(HB) and Lübeck ( HL), still use their prefixes today.

During World War I, a combination was used for army vehicles MK(German Militärkraftwagen des Deutschen Heeres ) - Military vehicles of the German army. After the war, during the existence of the Weimar Republic, german army used the prefix RW(German Reichswehr) - Reichswehr (German armed forces - gg.).

Vehicles exempt from vehicle tax (ambulances, tractors, agricultural trailers, trailers for boats and gliders) have on their license plates white color green letters and numbers. The owner of a trailer can be exempted from paying transport tax on it if he agrees to pay an increased tax for a truck towing this trailer. Also, owners of trailers who voluntarily handed them over to the German armed forces (when a state of emergency was established) are exempted from paying transport tax. Unregistered vehicles have short term license plates, valid 5 days. The numeric code starts with the number 04, for example, DD-0400. The license plate itself has a yellow strip on the right side, on which the date, month and year until which these numbers are valid are marked. Vehicles with such license plates do not have to undergo a technical inspection, but must be technically sound. Most insurance companies take this contribution into account if the car is later registered and insured with the same insurance company. License plates of exported vehicles. Are established on the cars which are taken out abroad of Germany. The owner of the vehicle must not be a German citizen and must not register the vehicle. These license plates do not have the blue stripe with the EU symbol on the left side of the license plate. Instead, a red stripe is applied on the right side of the sign and the day, month and year of the end of the vehicle insurance contract are indicated.
Registration numbers of cars protected by diplomatic immunity, on the left side, instead of a prefix, have a number 0 . The numbers after "0" should be deciphered as follows: before the dash - the number assigned to the country's embassy (from 1 to 3 digits); after the dash - car number (numbering at the request of the embassy / consulate). An exception is ambassadors and representatives of foreign states: the presidents' vehicles have the code 0-1 , prime ministers - 0-2 , ministers of foreign affairs - 0-3 , chairmen of parliaments - 1-1 . On registration plates of vehicles belonging to armed forces Germany, on the left side, instead of the blue rectangle with the EU symbol with the standard letter D, the national flag of Germany is depicted. All characters of this type begin with a letter Y(no city in Germany has a name starting with Y), followed by a six digit number (or five digits for motorcycles), for example: Y-123 456. Vehicles of the German army are not subject to transport tax and are not insured, since the state acts as an insurer. Also, vehicles do not undergo a mandatory technical inspection, but the army services themselves exercise strict control over the technical condition of the vehicles entrusted to them, similar to a regular technical inspection. NATO vehicles stationed in Germany have license plates similar to the standard German Army vehicle plates, but starting with the letter X followed by a four-digit number, e.g. X-1234. The Federal Police use registration plates that begin with a prefix BP(Bundespolizei). Until 2006, the numbers used the code BG(Bundesgrenzschutz) - it is still valid, but new cars use the BP prefix. The license plates of police vehicles in North Rhine-Westphalia use the prefix NRW4, followed by a four-digit code, for example: NRW 4-1234, Rhineland-Palatinate police use the prefix RPL etc. These red license plates ( Wechselkennzeichen) are used by dealers for temporary registration of vehicles (for transportation). They are not assigned to a specific machine, but are issued to the dealer. This example (without the blue box on the left) is outdated. These license plates are used by collectors of classic cars. The digital combination for such numbers begins with 07 . The age of the car must be at least 20 years, however, since April 2007 this figure has been increased to 30. License plates issued and installed before this date remain valid even after the entry into force of the new rules. Also, the collector must receive a special certificate (as an example, confirmation that there are no criminal offenses behind the car). In addition, it is allowed to use one set of numbers for all collectible cars, subject to strict control of their removal and installation on other cars (all operations performed with numbers must be documented by the collector). However, the use of cars with such numbers in everyday use is not allowed. The presence of a document on passing the official technical inspection is not necessary, but the car must be absolutely technically sound in order to be used on public roads.

Font

Since November 2000, registration plates have been using a special typeface developed in Germany by Karlgeorg Höfer (Ger. Karlgeorg Hoefer) back in the 70s of the XX century by order of the government. The reason for the creation was the relative ease of counterfeiting license plates using the old font. Eg, P could easily be corrected R, B- per number 8 or 3 , A O- on Q and vice versa.

The uniqueness of the new font (the name is often used FE script) lies in the fact that letters similar in configuration and spelling are almost impossible to “interrupt”. Thus the letter O extremely difficult to convert into a letter Q, from P get R, and from L And F - E and vice versa. The same is true with numbers.

This typeface was called "hard to falsify" (it. Falschungserschwernde Schrift ).

Issuance of registration plates

In each district of the federal state there is a special department that deals with the issuance of registration plates - German. Zulassungsstelle or him. Kfz-Zulassungsbehorde, which literally means "the agency for the admission of the vehicle to operation."

Before obtaining license plates, the car owner must insure the car. After insurance, a person is given a special code (German. Versicherungsbestätigungsnummer ), with which you need to contact the district office ( Zulassungsstelle), fill out an application and make payment. After that, the department provides a special paper on which the alphanumeric combination of the future license plate is written. Next, the motorist goes to a special shop located next to the building of the department (and sometimes in the same building), where registration plates are made. After payment, the vehicle owner receives his license plates and must go with them back to the district office, where the last stage of obtaining "numbers" is carried out - a sticker of the federal land district is installed and the entire package of documents is issued.

Insurance numbers

Insurance license plates.

Insurance numbers (German) Versicherungskennzeichen) issued by an insurance company and installed on mopeds and other low-powered vehicles (also on vehicles with a maximum speed of 25 km/h used by people with disabilities). physical abilities). These license plates are smaller than regular registration plates and are only valid for one year from the beginning of March to the end of February of the following year. These marks have been replacing official registration marks since low-powered vehicles began to be registered through insurance companies. 4 colors are used for license plates: red (used very rarely and for temporary use of the vehicle), black, green, blue. The last three colors alternate every year, which allows you to track whether this vehicle is insured and whether it has an up-to-date license plate. In addition, the year is "printed" on the bottom line of the sign. It is not possible to use a license plate of the same color every three years as the police check if that particular alphanumeric combination is valid. The format is as follows: three numbers at the top, three letters at the bottom of the license plate. Numbers and digits are chosen randomly, and personal numbers impossible.

Each year has its own license plate color.

Stickers

Emission test sticker. 2007

Vehicle security check sticker. 2007

Emission Test Sticker was installed (cancelled since January 2010) on the front license plate, and vehicle safety sticker installed on the rear license plate and since 2010 combines the functions of both stickers. The year is in the center of the sticker. The black marks next to the number 12 allow officers to identify from a distance when a particular test has been passed. These stickers are installed on the license plate in a special way - the stickers rotate. If you imagine a clock display, then the stickers are rotated so that the number 12 coincides with the desired number on an imaginary clock face. The numbers on the imaginary dial indicate the numerical equivalent of the months.

Below the vehicle safety stickers and the toxicity test stickers on the license plate, there is a sign of the federal state, and this sign also indicates the name of the region of this federal state in which the car is registered.

Stickers are made and installed on license plates in a special way, which does not allow them to be removed without damaging the license plate.

If it becomes known that the car owner does not pay the insurance premium for more than three months, the police will remove the federal land sign with a special device, thereby damaging the license plates. This will make the use of numbers illegal and the car owner will have to wait for the insurance company to provide new license plates.

The sticker colors are repeated every six years.
