i-Kfz app breaks the million mark: Why the digital vehicle registration document is now becoming a game changer

The digitalization of vehicle administration in Germany has reached a true turning point: Over one million vehicle registration documents were digitized in the first four weeks alone using the Federal Motor Transport Authority's new i-Kfz app. This sends a strong signal to everyone who has been calling for simpler administrative processes for years.

Since its presentation on November 6, 2025 by Federal Minister of Transport Patrick Schnieder, Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger and KBA President Richard Damm, the app has shown that digitalization works – when it is suitable for everyday use, safe and intuitive.

Why the i-car app is taking off so quickly

Patrick Schnieder emphasizes: More than a million uploads in one month demonstrate the high demand for digital, mobile solutions. No paperwork, no trips to the authorities – just a modern, secure vehicle registration certificate directly on your smartphone.

KBA President Richard Damm also sees the success as a clear signal: The high acceptance strengthens the public's trust in digital administrative services and confirms that ease of use is the decisive factor.

The most important functions of the i-car app

The digital vehicle registration certificate offers noticeable advantages – not only in everyday life, but also in dealings with authorities, vehicle changes or workshop appointments.

Benefits at a glance – SEO-optimized

Digital vehicle registration document always at hand
Fast access to vehicle data – mobile, secure, uncomplicated
Manage multiple vehicles – perfect for families & small fleets
Secure storage through modern encryption
Easy sharing when needed – without paperwork chaos
Less bureaucracy and no fear of lost documents

This positions the app as one of the first truly user-centric offerings in the field of digital vehicle management.

Next steps: QR code function & digital driver's license

Development is progressing rapidly. A QR code function for registration offices is expected to be introduced as early as the first quarter of 2026 – a feature that will accelerate processes and reduce errors.

In parallel, the Federal Ministry is working on another major step:
the digital driving licence , which is expected to be available in the i-Kfz app by the end of 2026.

This creates, for the first time, a central, fully digital platform for vehicle and driver-related documents in Germany.

What this all means for consumers

The more digital processes become, the more important one thing becomes: ensuring completeness and accuracy.
Missing information, unclear evidence, or missed deadlines cause most problems – and this will be no different in a digital world.
