Plate Number question and ADAC suffering :\

[varet]

I see many boats with Registrations like a car (BRB-XX-999, B-XX-2222) but also I see boats with XXXXXX-A(Adac) etc...
I personally have an IBS from Adac!

Can I use the Adac number as license plate number and be on Inland waters? or I need also to register with a local (berlin in my case) water service?

It is confusing.

Also I am suffering with adac a bit. I try to change my address, and they never reply to my form submissions! :\ do I have to send them again ALL the paperwork?

IBS of ADAC / DSV / DMYV can be used for the boat in Germany. The others you're listing seem to be released by different WSA and can be used also.

So IBS Number is your plate

ADAC in the moment is very slow, I'm waiting for my ibs in the moment for 2 weeks :-(

btw: If you are using german ibs outside of germany normally ibs shouldn't be older than 2 years.

Each WSA has its own letter-combination ("Hansestadt Bremen" = HB, "Mannheim" = MH, etc).

In difference to car registration, you can register your boat at whatever WSA you like to register it.

The ADAC registration is legal for al EU countries, but if you drive outside Germany the registration needs to be updated every 2 years. With usage inside Germany the ADAC reg. has no end of validity.

Mannheim =MA

The WSA Registration is also legal in EU .
IT needs no Update. WSA Registration has no end of validity.

Correct. Sorry, typo.

Returning to original question of varet:

His ibs / ADAC registration fits the requirements, no additional registration needed. He can use his ADAC registration number as "plate" for using inland Germany

Thank you all for the Detailed info.

Do I have to Carry the IBS with me inside Germany while boating? Just it is funny:

Netherlands has:
- Card for Boat registration
- Paper License

Germany:
- Adac paper Registration (Maybe WSAs give you card as registration, which I would prefer)
- Card License (SBF)


I also bought 2 license plates (Vinyl stickers) of 10cm high (NL requires 20CM!!) and they sold them as legal, I suspect I read this right too.

Yeah, welcome to the EU where we all are united in doing everything our own way.
You have to carry your IBS and present it if asked by the authorities.
10cm height is correct. Eihter dark colour on a light background or light on dark. It has to have a high contrast so no white letters on a white boat.
