Documents for this route
German registration papers
Ask the seller for both parts of the German registration certificate: Part I (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I, formerly the Fahrzeugschein) and Part II (Teil II, formerly the Fahrzeugbrief). You need the originals to register the car in Bulgaria.
Official source: kba.deRegistering the car in Bulgaria
Register it at a traffic police (KAT) office. Bring the original German registration certificate (both parts), the purchase contract or invoice, your ID and Bulgarian third-party liability insurance (grazhdanska otgovornost). The office also inspects the car itself.

For VAT, a car counts as new if it has done no more than 6,000 km or was delivered within 6 months of its first registration. VAT on a new car is paid in the country where it is registered, so a new car bought abroad and registered in Bulgaria pays Bulgarian VAT.

Questions about this route
Does the car need German plates or export plates?
No. The car travels on our transporter as cargo, so it needs no plates, export plates (Ausfuhrkennzeichen) or road insurance for the journey.
Can you collect from a German dealer or auction?
Yes. We collect from dealers, private sellers and auction compounds. For an auction car, send us the release code or PIN before pickup.
Do I have to travel to Germany for the pickup?
No. Whoever hands over the car, its keys and documents can do it: the seller, the dealer or the auction compound.
When do I pay?
Private buyers pay on delivery in Bulgaria, when the car is in front of them. Businesses pay by invoice after delivery.
Is the car insured on the way?
Yes. Our CMR liability insurance is included at no extra cost. Compensation follows the CMR limit, in most European courts 8.33 SDR per kilogram of the car's weight, about €15,100 for a 1,500 kg car. If your car is worth more, consider insuring it yourself for the journey.
Can you transport a car that doesn't run?
Yes. We load non-running and damaged cars by winch. Tell us in the form and we include it in your price.
