Munich registration office: city or district?
Munich has two registration authorities sharing the code M: the city’s and the surrounding district’s. Which one is yours depends only on your registered address.
Anyone registered in the city of Munich registers a vehicle with the Kreisverwaltungsreferat (KVR), which according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority’s directory runs a single registration office at Eichstätter Straße 2, also home to the licensing office. The city issues the codes M and MUC. It shares M with the district of Munich (Landkreis München), whose own office is in Grasbrunn-Neukeferloh: municipalities such as Unterhaching, Garching or Ottobrunn belong there, not to the KVR. MUC exists only in the city. With 790,359 cars on 1 January 2026, Munich is Germany’s number 3 registration district by size, and with 6.9 % fully electric cars it ranks 9 of 398. Fees are the national ones: €30.00 for a new registration in person, €13.10 online (as of October 2026).

Registration office addresses
The KVR handles vehicle registration and driving licences at one site. It books appointments online; which procedures work without one is decided by the KVR and changes from time to time, so we do not give opening hours here.
