Paderborn road traffic office: registration and licences at An der Talle
The city of Paderborn belongs to the Paderborn district, whose road traffic office at An der Talle handles registration and licences for the whole district.
Paderborn is not an independent city: the registration authority is the Paderborn district, for the city just as for Delbrück, Salzkotten, Büren, Bad Lippspringe and the rest of its ten towns. The Federal Motor Transport Authority’s directory lists one registration office, An der Talle 7, 33102 Paderborn, phone 05251-308-3699, and the licensing office at the same address. Two codes are current: PB and BÜR, which stands for the former Büren district and is issued again. The directory lists no phased-out codes for the district. On 1 January 2026 there were 193,194 registered cars, rank 53 of 398 districts, with 612 cars per 1,000 residents. Fully electric cars made up 5.2 %, rank 36 for the electric share. The fee is the federal one: €30.00 for a new registration in person, €40.20 with a personalised number, as of October 2026.
