Apply for tax exemption for a diplomatic vehicle

How to apply for tax exemption for a diplomatic vehicle:

1. Fill in the form 21.132
2. Attach documentation (documentation will depend on the applicant)
3. Register the vehicle with a number plate operator
   Blue diplomatic number plates – If you have chosen blue number plates in the form, payment must be made when ordering the plates. In your application, you must enter the name of the number plate operator that will register the vehicle because the plates will be sent to that operator. Once the number plate operator has received the set of number plates, you can contact them to have the vehicle registered.  
   White number plates – If you have selected white number plates in the form, you can contact a number plate operator and have the vehicle registered as soon as it has been registered as a diplomatic vehicle by the Danish Motor Vehicle Agency (Motorstyrelsen).    

The Motor Vehicle Agency will process your request within five working days, excluding delivery.
