Red license plates are issued by the locally competent registration authority to reliable vehicle manufacturers, vehicle parts manufacturers, vehicle workshops and vehicle dealers for a limited period or revocably for recurring operational use, even on different vehicles. A license plate with red lettering on a white background with a red border consists of a distinguishing sign and an identification number which, like the temporary license plate, consists of digits only and begins with "06".
Note: The red license plate must be used with the special vehicle registration booklet.
