TÜV and registration for Dubai import cars
For a car from Dubai to be driven in Germany, it needs technical approval and registration. Here you learn what matters and which steps CarAgent handles completely for you.
Individual approval or regular registration
If a vehicle has European type approval with a COC document, registration is straightforward. If that is missing, an individual approval under Section 21 StVZO at the TÜV is required.
We check upfront which route applies to your vehicle and prepare the right documents so there is no delay.
Typical technical adjustments
Vehicles from the Gulf market often need small adjustments for Germany. These include daytime running lights and a rear fog light, which are mandatory here.
Sometimes adjustments to lighting or the speedometer are also needed. We spot this early and have it done properly.
COC, data sheet and emissions
The approval requires vehicle papers: a COC document or a data sheet with the technical specifications, plus proof of the emissions standard.
We obtain and check these documents so that emission values and technical data fit the German registration.

You do not have to worry about anything. CarAgent arranges the necessary adjustments, the TÜV approval and the registration from a single source.
You receive a road-ready, registered vehicle and know the total upfront, with no hidden costs and no deposit.
