Berlin registration office: locations and fees
All of Berlin has a single registration authority, the State Office for Citizens’ and Regulatory Affairs, with two locations. Here are the addresses, the fees and the amounts Berlin itself quotes.
In Berlin the State Office for Citizens’ and Regulatory Affairs (Landesamt für Bürger- und Ordnungsangelegenheiten, LABO) handles every vehicle registration, whichever of the twelve boroughs you live in. The Federal Motor Transport Authority’s directory lists two locations: the main office on Jüterboger Straße in Kreuzberg, filed under the name Tempelhof, and a branch on Ferdinand-Schultze-Straße in Hohenschönhausen. The plate code is B. On 1 January 2026 Berlin had 1,222,641 registered cars, only 332 per 1,000 residents, the lowest density among 398 districts; 4.0 % were fully electric, rank 176 of 398 districts. Berlin publishes its fees, which allows a cross-check: deregistering in person costs €17.10, exactly the €15.90 of the fee schedule plus €1.20 for the Federal Motor Transport Authority. LABO books appointments through service.berlin.de, and much can be done online.

LABO’s two locations
The main office is on Jüterboger Straße in Kreuzberg, the branch in the north-east, in Hohenschönhausen. Both share one phone number and both work by appointment. Which procedures each location offers is stated on service.berlin.de; the Federal Motor Transport Authority’s directory only gives addresses.
