Overview
- The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt now provides a Digitaler Untersuchungsbericht for all main inspections conducted on or after November 25, 2025, while earlier checks remain paper-only.
- The digital report is generated automatically regardless of which inspection organization performed the HU, and no consent is required because it contains no personal data.
- Access is available on the KBA website via QR code, individual link, or by entering the report number, the organization key, and an identification number, with no eID needed.
- The DUB includes all relevant inspection and defect items and can be shared for sales, insurer or workshop requests, with access revocable by changing the access data.
- The printed HU report continues to be issued, the DUB is an independent service separate from the i‑Kfz app, and it is available in German with partial English.
