The stickers on our vehicles and their meaning

on the license plate there are always stickers indicating the country in which the vehicle is registered. Then a sticker will be placed on the rear of the vehicle to show when the next main inspection (formerly known as the MOT inspection) is due.

The fine dust sticker is affixed to the lower left of the windshield (passenger side). if you do not have a fine dust sticker on your vehicle, you are not allowed to enter so-called environmental zones.

all stickers are clearly distinguishable from each other and must be clearly visible and, importantly for the license plates, also clearly legible. The inspection sticker or test sticker is the external documentation that the tested object is regularly inspected by a monitoring organization and that it was/is fit for the type of its legal or other purpose on the day of the inspection. On these stickers you can also see when the next inspection has to be made.

There are also other stickers or stickers for your vehicle

If you regularly have the free light test carried out at your specialist workshop in the autumn, you will also receive a sticker for your windscreen. The light test is of course very important, but voluntary. The workshop you trust checks all approved lights on your vehicle. Small corrections in the settings are made immediately and usually free of charge. If bulbs need to be replaced or other minor repairs are required, the costs incurred are of course to be borne by the vehicle owner.

All in all, however, a very good initiative, because as it says so well in the advertising: "good vision benefits and good vision protects"!

AU and HU

Every two years the main inspection, colloquially also called TuV inspection, is due. However, this test does not necessarily have to be carried out by TuV, but can also be carried out by DEKRA or another testing organization. If the vehicle passes the test without any defects, it will receive a sticker for the main inspection and emission test. This is attached to the rear license plate and you can see at a glance when the next main inspection is due.

environmental zones and environmental badges

Since the 1. march 2007 vehicles in germany need an environmental sticker. These are available in three different colors. Most environmental zones, however, can only be entered with the color green.

this sticker is valid indefinitely and depends on the year of construction and the emission class of the car.

This measure serves to reduce fine dust emissions in areas where the air is particularly contaminated with pollutants. Mostly these are cities and urban areas.

Vignettes and the D-sticker

As an additional sticker or sticker there is a freeway vignette in various european countries. It documents that you have paid the tolls for the use of the freeways and or trunk roads for the country in which you are traveling. The vignette must be stuck by them on the windshield.

In addition, the country-specific sticker. In germany we have there our D-sticker. This is what we need in all non-EU countries. There the oval sign with black D on white ground is further obligatory!

Important. Make sure you know in advance where the toll sticker must be affixed to the windshield; here, too, the regulations vary from country to country. your guide from kennzeichen-direkt.De is happy to help you.

by the way, you know the one: a customs officer leans through the open window and asks, alcohol – cigarettes? Says the driver, no thanks, just two coffees please.
