Moien genial Leit,

So I have a situation that the front license plate of my car is partially broken. While the plate itself is clearly readable, I have two things that bug me –

(1) I bumped into something sharp while parking, so there's a small dent in the middle of the plate. It doesn't impact the readability of numbers itself, but just looks a bit weird because of this dent.

(2) The plastic stick that borders the plate is also broken, and it hangs out slightly. It could probably just be fixed with some tape.

I have my controle technique coming up shortly and I know that license plates are one of the conditions mentioned there.

So does anyone know if these would become an issue and I need to fix the plate before the appointment? Or can I just relax for now?

Thank you!

  1. Id recommend replacing the plate holder if it’s broken. It’s a quick and cheap repair. Much easier than having it rejected and having to pay again.

  2. A new plate is cheap and fast to get.

    Failing CT and having to go back is expensive and takes a lot of time.

    Seems to me like getting a new plate makes the most sense.

  3. For the plate you can try to email them in advance with a picture. The broken holder is more serious if there is the risk that the plate flies away and potentially kills someone

  4. Pretty sure the police can write you up for a broken license plate holder. I would imagine that it would also result in a point at CT
