I can embellish my number plate with stickers

The license plate blog drew attention to this car error a few days ago: You are not allowed to adapt your license plate to your own wishes. This includes, for example, pasting over the EU coat of arms. The occasional coat of arms of a football club or a region in the middle of the EU stars is also not allowed.

The Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) states:

“License plates may not be additionally provided with glass, foil or similar covers (§ 10 FZV)
