Aachen Low-Emission Zone. Green Sticker

Yes, your info is correct.  If you Google it, you will find a list of places where you can buy one. You will need to take your registration doc to show that it's Euro 4 or better.  I think it's only 5 or 6 Euro. You can also buy one on-line.

Hello Derek

We have some information about the German low emission zones on our website here

Have a great trip

best regards

Have a read of:

It will tell you how to get a Plakette cheaply

Just stop at any larger garage and they will sell you one for 5 euros

First time I went to Germany by car I bought one for Essen, since then haven't bothered and never been stopped. Hadn't crossed my mind to get one for this year either.

If it's the same car it's valid for the life of that car.  

Which part of the registration documents gives the required information.

The car is a 2014 Nissan Qashqai 4*4 1.6 DCI

The required info is on the main page of the V5 (the section that gives weights etc). I used a digital camera to photograph the page and this was accepted without any question at all (I used the Berlin office mentioned in my earlier post above and "attached" the photo to the application)

There is another post almost he same as this running!  5 euros and V5 to any dealer will get you an Umwelt valid for life of car.

not so Hazel keep getting page not found
