Service prominent in Neuss, Rhine region is well-known

In the district of Rhein-Kreis Neuss, a convenient and efficient service for changing the address on vehicle documents has seen a significant increase in usage. This service, available at town halls, allows citizens to make these changes without the need to visit the road traffic office, a move emphasized as particularly important during pandemic times.

County Commissioner Hans-Jürgen Petrauschke expressed his satisfaction with the high demand for the service, with over 4,000 instances of its use across all municipalities in the district in 2022. In Kaarst alone, 348 citizens utilized this service, while Neuss saw 952 citizens taking advantage of it.

The service is designed to save citizens multiple trips to the office and help them avoid potential penalty procedures. However, despite its convenience, there were still instances of late address changes in vehicle documents. In 2022, the road traffic office of Rhein-Kreis Neuss initiated around 2,300 penalty procedures due to late address changes.

Ulrike Holz, head of the road traffic office, attributed this to many vehicle owners forgetting to visit the office during the moving process. She reiterated the goal of the service, which is to spare citizens as many trips to the office as possible.

It's worth noting that the prerequisite for using the service is that the move is within the district or within a city or municipality in Rhein-Kreis Neuss, and that there is no existing address sticker on the registration certificate. The re-registration process for vehicle address changes can be found on the website www.rhein-kreis-neuss.de/sva.

The name of the head of the Straßenverkehrsbehörde Rhein-Kreis Neuss who initiated over 2,300 procedures for delayed address changes in vehicle documents in 2022 is not explicitly stated in the available search results. However, the district administrator (Landrat) for Rhein-Kreis Neuss is Hans-Jürgen Petrauschke, but it is unclear if he is directly responsible for the Straßenverkehrsbehörde.

Despite this, the service is described as citizen-friendly, quick, and efficient, making it an invaluable resource for the district's residents. By law, citizens must update their address in their vehicle registration documents immediately after moving, and this service ensures they can do so conveniently and without incurring unnecessary penalties.
