"Motorists in Germany can now keep their vehicle registration certificate digitally and directly on their smartphone. In the latest step toward building out digital convenience, Germany has launched a new app designed to make life easier for drivers across the country. The initiative is part of a broader government push to simplify everyday bureaucracy and modernise public services. In the coming years, this digitalisation drive will also include a digital driving licence and a national "digital wallet" for storing official documents."
"The new i-Kfz app The German government has begun rolling out a new app, called i-Kfz, which is a platform that lets users download and securely store their vehicle registration certificate on their phones. Developed by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), the app aims to make car ownership a little more straightforward. The app is available to download now on Android and iOS. To register your vehicle digitally, you'll need an electronic ID card (eID)."
Motorists in Germany can download the i-Kfz app to store their vehicle registration certificate digitally on Android and iOS devices. The app, developed by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), allows identity verification with an electronic ID card (eID) or retrieval via a QR code generated during registration. The digital certificate is valid for traffic checks within Germany, automatically updates inspection records, and can be shared for renting or lending vehicles. The digital certificate currently complements the paper certificate, which remains required during the transition and for police checks elsewhere in Europe. Future plans include a digital driving licence and a national digital wallet.
