Aachen registration office: it sits in Würselen
Aachen and its neighbouring towns are served by the StädteRegion Aachen. Its road traffic office is not in Aachen itself but in Würselen.
The registration authority for the city of Aachen is the StädteRegion Aachen, an association of ten towns and municipalities including Eschweiler, Stolberg, Alsdorf, Herzogenrath and Monschau. The Federal Motor Transport Authority’s directory lists a single registration office: Carlo-Schmid-Str. 4, 52146 Würselen, phone 0241-5198-6500. It lists the licensing office at the same address and no branches. Keepers from all ten towns go there, including those who live in central Aachen. Two codes are issued, AC and MON; GK is listed for the StädteRegion only as phased out. On 1 January 2026 there were 304,553 registered cars, rank 13 of 398 registration districts, with 523 cars per 1,000 residents against 592 nationally. Fees follow the federal schedule: a new registration costs €30.00 in person and €13.10 online, as of October 2026.

Registration office addresses
Würselen borders Aachen to the north; the address is in the table, and the StädteRegion handles appointments itself. Which procedures work without one changes over time, so we give no opening hours.
