Ulm road traffic office: city and Alb-Donau district under one roof
In Ulm two registration authorities share an address: the city of Ulm and the Alb-Donau district office. Neu-Ulm, across the Danube, belongs to Bavaria.
The independent city of Ulm is a registration authority in its own right, and so is the office of the Alb-Donau district that surrounds it. The Federal Motor Transport Authority’s directory lists both at the same address, Schillerstr. 30, 89077 Ulm, phone 0731-185-1444; the district also has branches in Ehingen and Langenau. Both issue UL. For the district the directory also lists EHI, MÜN and BC, as phased out. Licences come from separate offices: for the city the citizens’ services on Olgastraße, for the district the office on Schillerstraße and in Ehingen. Neu-Ulm is not part of this: it lies in Bavaria, and its authority is the Neu-Ulm district office, Kantstr. 8, with the codes NU and ILL. On 1 January 2026 the city of Ulm had 68,839 registered cars, rank 292 of 398, and the Alb-Donau district 136,027. Fees are the same everywhere, for example €15.90 to deregister in person, as of October 2026.

The vehicle figures cover the city of Ulm only; the Alb-Donau district had 672 cars per 1,000 residents and the Neu-Ulm district 630. For Neu-Ulm, Biberach or Heidenheim the search above names the right office; what a move between city and district costs is worked out under re-registering after a move.
