European lawmakers greenlight draft bill on EU funding for the Union

Baden-Württemberg, a German state known for its pioneering efforts in digitalization, has made significant strides in the digitalization of vehicle registration. This includes the procedure for digital vehicle registration, which has been developed locally and adopted by 14 states across Germany.

The digital vehicle registration process allows for electronic registration, cancellation, and changes in all 44 districts of Baden-Württemberg, including both rural and urban areas. This move towards digitalization is part of broader e-government initiatives, with Baden-Württemberg having implemented electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) through the E-Government-Gesetz Baden-Württemberg (EgovG BW) and the local e-invoice regulation (E-Rechnungsverordnung Baden-Württemberg).

However, while Baden-Württemberg has established a strong digital infrastructure, specific details about the extent of digital vehicle registration adoption across German states are not readily available. The available data primarily covers e-invoicing and other e-government digitalizations in states such as Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, and Thuringia.

The discussion about digitalization, including the AfD bill, was recently held in the Landtag Baden-Württemberg in Stuttgart. Critics such as Swantje Sperling (Greens) have criticized the bill for lacking a strategy, concept, or funding. Members of the CDU, including Innenminister Thomas Strobl and Isabell Huber, have countered these criticisms, stating that the digital achievements in Baden-Württemberg speak for themselves. They characterize the bill's criticisms as "empty talk" because much of it was not thought through.

For those seeking more detailed, state-specific statistics on digital vehicle registration adoption, checking official German federal or Baden-Württemberg government digital services portals may provide the most accurate information.

In the process of digitalizing vehicle registration, Baden-Württemberg has additionally implemented electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) as part of broader e-government initiatives, using technology for both vehicle registration and invoicing purposes. Despite the widespread digitalization efforts in Baden-Württemberg, specific details about the extent of digital vehicle registration adoption across German states, beyond Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, and Thuringia, remain uncertain.
