Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual / Whels, Tires, Whel Alignment / Specifications for Retrofitting Wheel and Tire Combinations (Documents) / Vehicle Registration Documents Since 01/10/2005

The implementation of EU guideline 1999/37/EG "Vehicle registration documents" in national legislation and legal data protection requirements have made the introduction of new, fraud resistant registration documents necessary.

Since 01/10/2005, the new documents are issued by the authorities in the case of new registrations, change of owner, entry of technical changes and all other changes.

The new registration documents consist of:

the registration certificate part I, which replaces the vehicle registration and

the registration certificate part II that supersedes the vehicle title.

Registration Certificate Part I (Vehicle Registration)

contains all technical vehicle data that must be present to register a vehicle in Europe but only a standard approved wheel/tire combination is specified

has the EU-wide alphanumeric codes allocated to the technical data so that the German registration document can be converted without problems in the foreign countries of the EU into the registration document required there

contains a field to document the temporary or final decommissioning of the vehicle and is no longer drawn in the case of a temporary or final decommissioning.

Registration Certificate Part II (Vehicle Title)

contains information that the bearer of the registration certificate is not declared the owner

only contains the current and, if available, last vehicle owner, the actual number of previous owners is indicated numerically

only contains a small portion of the technical vehicle data

does not document temporary vehicle decommissioning In the future, the vehicle and body type listed under digit 1 in the old vehicle documentation will no longer exist. It is replaced in the new documents with EU-standardized vehicle classes with body type

The introduction of the new registration documents results in hardly any changes for the driver.

As with the old vehicle registration the registration certificate part I (vehicle registration) should be kept in the vehicle and presented to responsible persons upon request.

It is Not Necessary to Install the Wheel/Tire Combination Specified in the Registration Certification Part I (Vehicle Registration). All Combinations Approved According to the Vehicle General Type Approval or EU type Approval Maybe be Used. Refer to → Chapter „Certificate of Conformity“.

The permissibility of a wheel/tire combination that deviates from the vehicle general type approval or EU type approval must be verified with an entry in the registration certificate part I (vehicle registration), an installation certificate due to a parts certificate or a general type approval for the wheel/tire combination.
