Bergstraße road traffic office: registration in Heppenheim
The Bergstraße district on the border with Baden-Württemberg registers every vehicle in Heppenheim. Registration and licences are at two different addresses there.
Bensheim, Viernheim, Lampertheim, Heppenheim, Lorsch and the rest of the 21 towns and municipalities of the Bergstraße district are served by the district administrator (Landrat). The Federal Motor Transport Authority’s directory lists one registration office in the district town: Benzstr. 1, 64646 Heppenheim, phone 06252-150. The licensing office is at another address in the same town, Gräffstr. 5; anyone handling a car and a licence on the same day should plan for two stops. Only HP, for Heppenheim, is issued; the directory lists no phased-out codes for the district. On 1 January 2026 there were 179,687 registered cars, rank 70 of 398, plus 19,685 motorcycles, and 655 cars per 1,000 residents against 592 nationally. Fees are the federal ones: re-registering after a move with a new HP plate costs €27.10 in person, as of October 2026.
