ÖAMTC demands: End with high admission fees for drivers!
Österreich - The ÖAMTC has urged to abolish the approval fee for vehicles instead of increasing almost 50 percent. Matthias Wolf, a lawyer of the ÖAMTC, describes the current regulation as outdated and criticized that vehicle owners: inside the registration office must appear personally. The process could be significantly simplified by the availability of data in the central registration register. This would not only reduce the administrative effort, but also the financial hurdles for citizens: dismantle inside when changing residence.
according to Gailtal Journal shows the criticism of the ÖAMTC that more than half of the over 200 euros that is due to the authorities in the approval process. At the same time, from the perspective of the ÖAMTC, there is no adequate consideration of the local authorities for these fees. People who often change their place of residence due to work are particularly affected, such as seasonal workers, since they have to pay the entire registration fee again when moving to another district.
digital solutions for vehicle approval
In view of these challenges, the ÖAMTC welcomes the introduction of the digital admission certificate in Austria, which should enable relieved traffic control through QR codes. Matthis Wolf emphasizes that automation of the address change through comparison with the central registration register would also make sense. Such a reform could further reduce the existing bureaucratic effort and the driver: gain a noticeable relief inside.The idea of the ÖAMTC to abolish the obligation to change the license plate to other districts when changing residence is considered a contemporary concept. This could be supported by an electronic toll vignette, which remains valid at a change of residence and thus minimizes additional costs and bureaucratic effort, as with [OEAMTC.AT] (https://www.oeastc.at/pesse/oEAMTC-BEGITALESST-Digitalen-zulmstein-buehren-buehren- 67194489) is executed.
digitization as the key to modernization
The topic also pays attention in Germany, where the cabinet led by Federal Minister Dr. Volker Wissing has decided on the digitization of the vehicle approval regulations. This comes into force on September 1, 2023 and aims to accelerate the processes in the vehicle registration system and to reduce costs. Every year there are around 20 million vehicle registration processes in Germany that could benefit significantly from digitization, as BMV. According to the regulation, citizens may take part in road traffic up to 10 days without the usual vehicle documents, and special license plates can be applied for for the first time online. These legal innovations clearly show that digital transformation is an important step in order to make the approval processes for citizens: more practical and inexpensive inside.
