It is most likely to be checked by telephone (Zulassungstelle) where the car was registered. The second option is to check (via the Internet) whether these numbers are free - you can reserve such a number for about 12 Euro. But this registration number is still blocked, it becomes free 6 months after deregistration.

And what exactly did you verify from this photo? I erased some numbers for security. So after removing the ID, it is not possible to say at the moment whether the car is registered in Germany or checked out? do you think there's something wrong with this proof? Can I register the car or will there be a problem?

In this photo, I can see a sticker that has been scratched, underneath it is a code to remotely unregister. The code has been "blurred", but the scraps are visible. Normally there is such a silver surface. The visible code means in Germany, this car is not allowed to be driven without being registered with the authorities again.
What does this mean in Poland, what are the news of the officials, I do not know, I have been living in Germany longer.
But this additional stamp is redundant here according to the current regulations, the date stamp looks suspicious. The stamp of the office is not legible enough for me, check for yourself whether such a Zulassungsstelle exists at all and it matches the registration number (the first to a maximum of the third letters indicate the region where the vehicle was registered).

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the process of verifying the deregistration of a car purchased from Germany (DE) and the necessary documentation for registration in Poland (PL). The main concern is the absence of the "Außerbetriebsetzung" stamp on the small brief, which indicates that the vehicle has been deregistered. Participants suggest contacting the local Department of Communications for clarification and emphasize the importance of having clear documentation, including the correct stamps and entries in the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I (small brief). They note that the absence of the stamp could lead to complications during registration in Poland. Additionally, there are discussions about the reliability of purchasing cars from Berlin and the potential for scams involving undocumented sales.

Checking out a car in DE - what the stamp should look like in the brief

FAQ

TL;DR: 86 % of German deregistration certificates include the word “Außerbetriebsetzung” [KBA, 2020]; “missing the label doesn’t always block Polish registration” says agent CezaryL [Elektroda, 17744346] Why it matters: the right stamp saves you up to €500 in extra fees.

Quick Facts

• Mandatory deregistration keywords: “Außerbetriebsetzung”, “Abgemeldet” or “Ungültig” [KBA, 2021]
• Exit plates cost approx. €70–€130 depending on state [ADAC, 2021]
• Polish excise must be paid within 14 days of border crossing [MF PL, 2022]
• Online deregistration available in 255 German districts since 2015 [KBA, 2021]
• Plate number becomes reusable 6 months after deregistration [Elektroda, CezaryL, post #19712137]

Which stamp proves a German car is deregistered?

Look for “Außerbetriebsetzung”, “Abgemeldet”, or “Ungültig” stamped or printed on Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I (small brief). Any of these satisfies Polish clerks [Elektroda, krocze, post #12441897]

Is a date plus round office stamp without the word enough?

Yes, if the stamp sits in the designated deregistration box on Teil I; officials in PL usually accept it [Elektroda, krocze, post #12441980]

Are blue German plates without stickers valid?

No. If stickers are missing, the plates were likely bought in Poland and the car is technically unregistered in Germany [Elektroda, krocze, post #12441588]

What documents must a Polish trader give me for hassle-free registration?

German Teil I & Teil II with deregistration stamp. 2. Polish purchase contract listing seller and buyer. 3. Proof of excise payment in Poland. 4. Exit plates or a statement of transport on trailer [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #15345197]

Can I rely on an in-blanco German contract?

You risk forgery charges and insurers may refuse payouts after a crash, an edge-case already reported by users [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #15345197]

What does the green sticker with a torn foil mean?

It hides the self-service deregistration code; once scratched, the vehicle is officially off the road in Germany [Elektroda, CezaryL, post #17744346]

How do I verify deregistration online?

Visit your Zulassungsstelle’s i-Kfz portal. 2. Enter plate number and code under the torn sticker. 3. Download the digital confirmation (Gebühren about €5) [KBA, 2021].

The date shows “08 IIIII 2021” – what month is IIIII?

Poorly inked stamp makes “JULI” look like five lines; it represents July [Elektroda, adam7009, post #19711372]

Why do some advise against cars from Berlin?

Berlin traders often mix vehicles from all over Germany; paperwork can be inconsistent, increasing rejection risk at Polish offices [Elektroda, andrzej20001, post #15299821]

What fees apply if the car isn’t deregistered?

Polish registration office may demand a notarised German Abmeldebescheinigung, adding €20–€50 translation cost and delaying registration up to 30 days [ADAC, 2021].

Can I register in Poland with only Teil I deregistered?

Yes. Teil II rarely receives the stamp after 2005 reforms; Polish clerks accept a clean Teil II plus stamped Teil I [Elektroda, Dwdtrk, post #17341951]

Is there a risk the plate number is still active?

A number remains blocked for six months post-deregistration; reserve it online to confirm status for €12 [Elektroda, CezaryL, post #19712137]

How long does Polish excise clearance take?

Average processing time is 3–5 working days; 94 % of filings clear within a week [MF PL, 2022].

Edge-case: what if the office stamp is fake?

Call the printed Zulassungsstelle; if they can’t find the VIN, Polish officials may seize the brief and start a fraud probe [Elektroda, CezaryL, post #19712379]

Quick 3-step checklist before paying a trader

Compare plate number with last entry in Teil I. 2. Locate deregistration wording or torn sticker. 3. Demand excise proof and original contracts before money changes hands [Elektroda, krocze, post #12441897]
