Technical malfunction: Registration offices in Lübben and Königs Wusterhausen affected

In the Dahme-Spreewald region, everyday life is currently a little bumpy for many drivers. There have been technical disruptions in the registration offices in the cities of Lübben and Königs Wusterhausen since December 23, 2025. This circumstance means that registration processes cannot currently be processed, which causes inconvenience for many citizens. The responsible authorities are asking those affected to be patient while they work “hard” to solve the problem. Further details are still awaited as no information is available on the cause or how normal operations will be restored.

Apart from the technical glitches, it turns out that the central registration authority of the Dahme-Spreewald district had already introduced a new system with appointments before these problems. Since June 13, 2025, citizens have been able to make appointments for their registration applications to be processed. This applies to both locations, namely on Mondays and Fridays with an appointment only, while on Tuesdays and Thursdays all processes can be processed without prior appointment. The district recommends checking your authority's website before visiting to avoid unpleasant surprises. Existing appointments can also be adjusted or canceled here.

We ask for your patience!

Since there is no guarantee that registration processes will be processed between Christmas and New Year's Eve, drivers who rely on registration should pay particular attention to current developments in the situation. Even if you can still carry out online admissions processes for private matters, visiting the admissions offices remains a necessary part of the process for many.

The other routine of the registration office requires that more than three registration processes have to be coordinated in advance, which forces people to contact the authority. Customers can do this both by phone and email. Office hours also vary, with appointments only available on Mondays and Fridays. To ensure speedy processing, the authorities recommend getting a waiting ticket, which is issued no later than 30 minutes before the end of opening hours.

A look beyond the borders

In connection with similar problems, other federal states, such as Bavaria, also report technical difficulties in registration offices. There were ongoing disruptions in the vehicle registration authorities, but these were resolved as quickly as possible. The experiences from these regions could help to find a solution more quickly in Dahme-Spreewald.

In summary, the registration offices in Lübben and Königs Wusterhausen are currently only functioning to a limited extent due to technical problems. The district recommends that all visitors obtain information online in advance and contact the authorities directly if they have any questions. Hopefully nothing will stand in the way of your driving life soon!
