No waiting time and no need to go to the authorities – this is what it says on the website of the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV) about the i-Kfz project, i.e. the possibility of almost all processes register a vehicle online. This offer has not yet been accepted. This could also be the result of a difficult start. The fourth phase of the simplified digital license began on September 1. It also allowed legal entities, such as car dealerships, to process registrations using it. On January 1, most of the service was shut down again due to security concerns. The registration offices have been gradually renovated, but this has not yet happened in Bremen.
How many registration offices offer this service again?
“We notice that the availability of i-vehicles continues to increase,” said Stephan Immen, spokesman for the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), when asked. Currently around 75 percent of the 415 registration authorities are i-vehicle capable. “There is a lot of movement at the moment in the municipalities, which are trying to participate quickly. done digitally. According to the KBA, there were 300,000 digital processes across all registration offices across the country. In total, approval processes are around 20 million per year.
Since when have i-cars been around?
The offer has been around since 2016, initially only with limited functions that were gradually expanded. From September 1, when phase four of i-Kfz was launched, almost all registration processes can be done online, as well as general license plates, for example, seasonal license plates. According to its own statements, the BMDV had previously created the legal requirements for this, and the KBA, for its part, had given the technical requirements for the use of i-vehicles to the registration authorities on ‘ specified date.
Why was the online service canceled on January 1?
The KBA, which manages the central register, had to respond because some municipalities did not meet the necessary IT security standards. According to the KBA, each registration authority had to prove that it complies with the minimum security requirements for internet-based vehicle registration. This was known to the federal states and the licensing authorities for a long time. The final version of the minimum security requirements was given to those involved last April so that the certification process could be submitted on time. “Authorities that do not meet these security requirements cannot use online registration with i-Kfz Level 4,” says the KBA. This applies to Bremen. State and local authorities have been told several times about the impending impact.
What is Bremen doing?
According to their own information, the Department of the Interior is considering changing the online procedure for registration and re-registration of motor vehicles to the new Bremen solution. It is currently being investigated whether the required inspection for the i-vehicle is still economical. Before a new process is implemented, it must also be tested and monitored. With the ongoing trial, it is not yet possible to say when the action will be taken. “However, the registration authorities are still able to act even after their internet portals have been deactivated,” the KBA said. The approval procedures are offline, which are carried out through communication channels in the government’s secure network, still there as before.
How does i-Kfz work?
What is required are vehicle documents, an online-capable ID card with activated eID function and PIN, a user account with “BundID”, a smartphone with “AusweisApp2” and an electronic proof of insurance. How long does the process take? When the “Tagesschau” tried it on itself, it took 40 minutes – but without success. The attempt failed when the system displayed the request: “Security code in the green area of the registration certificate Roman one: expose”. According to the author, there is indeed a trade code hidden there, but it was no longer completely readable after it was scraped off.
