Request environmental badge

Stuttgart has been an environmental zone since March 1, 2008. This means that your car needs a green environmental badge to drive and park in Stuttgart.

Environmental zones are areas in which only vehicles that meet certain exhaust emission standards are allowed to drive. The vehicles (cars and trucks) must be marked with stickers on the inside of the windshield. The goal of these environmental zones is to reduce pollutant emissions caused by road traffic.

Note: Pay attention to the  diesel traffic ban (opens in a new tab) in the city area.

Note: The environmental badges are valid in every environmental zone in Germany and not only in one city.

Note: With a red or yellow environmental badge you are not allowed to drive and park in the Stuttgart city area.

Online service

You can apply for an environmental badge online - even for vehicles that are not registered in Stuttgart. For vehicles with foreign license plates, you can request an environmental badge in advance by post or e-mail.
