Bremen registration office: two sites, one state, two offices
The state of Bremen consists of two cities, and each has its own registration office. Both issue the code HB.
The city of Bremen registers vehicles at Stresemannstraße 48, postcode 28207, and at a branch in Bremen-Nord, Gerhard-Rohlfs-Straße 62; both are listed that way in the Federal Motor Transport Authority’s directory, with the same phone number. The licensing office shares the Stresemannstraße address and has further points of contact in the citizens’ service centres. Bremerhaven belongs to the state of Bremen but has its own registration office; both cities issue the code HB. So if you live in Bremerhaven, the Bremen office is not yours, even though the plate starts the same. On 1 January 2026 the city of Bremen had 248,662 registered cars, 424 per 1,000 residents. Its diesel share, 27.4 %, was higher than the national 27.0 %, and its share of fully electric cars, 3.6 %, lower, rank 242 of 398. Fees are the same nationwide: €30.00 for a deregistered used car in person.
