Environmental badges in Germany

The ecological badge of particulate matter is divided into EURO classes in 3 different colors. The badge contains vehicle licence plate number and a registration stampindicating who issued a badge.

Badges are granted on the basis of the date of first registration of the vehicle and after check of the vehicle’s registration document.

The ecological badge is registered on vehicle license number. Its validity is unlimited and needs to be renewed only if the vehicle license number is changed or in case of damage to the windscreen and thus of the badge.

The beginning and end of the zone is marked with the UMWELTZONE tag.
