- Innovator in Digital Vehicle Registration through Mouse Clicks in Hildburghausen
In the digital automobile registration sector, Hildburghausen district stands out as one of the best performers across Germany. Approximately 20.4% of these administrative tasks are managed digitally in this district, as revealed by an analysis conducted by the Federal Ministry of Transport. Only Ingolstadt, Bavaria, surpassed this rate with 21.1%.
The i-KfZ platform, responsible for internet-based automobile registration, was utilized about 1.21 million times within a year nationwide. yet, not all areas have adapted to this system, and there are disparities among regions. Thuringia, specifically, has managed to connect all its districts and independent cities, excluding Suhl.
The online service is highly utilized to disregister vehicles or to modify vehicle registration particulars such as names and addresses. Automobile owners can significantly decrease time and expenditure through this method. Online vehicle registration fees are more affordable, costing 16.30 euros compared to 30.60 euros at the physical counter; meanwhile, online deregistration costs 2.70 euros compared to 16.80 euros.
Wissing: A substantial stride towards upgrading administration
Volker Wissing, Federal Minister of Transport (FDP), considers this process a significant milestone towards modernizing administration and a welcome relief for citizens, authorities, and enterprises. "This is real-world digitalization that visibly makes life simpler for people." He encouraged municipalities yet to adopt this service and to advocate for its promotion more vigorously.
However, the vast majority of car owners in Thuringia continue to opt for the conventional approach, bypassing online registration: as per the ministry's analysis, 96% of the procedures were still performed traditionally since September 2023.
Despite Thuringia's achievement in connecting all its districts and independent cities for digital vehicle deregistration, The Netherlands has also made significant strides in this field. Many of its administrative tasks related to vehicles are conducted digitally, showcasing its progress in the digital automobile registration sector.
However, it's worth noting that, unlike the Hildburghausen district in Germany with a 20.4% digital rate, the exact figure for digital vehicle management in The Netherlands is yet to be ascertained, as comprehensive data is not provided in the given text.
