For registration purposes, the insurance policy cannot substitute for the insurance confirmation card as proof of automobile insurance under German law and U.S. forces regulations. The insurance confirmation card is the required document to show that the vehicle has insurance during the registration process.
Under German law and U.S. forces regulations, the insurance confirmation card (known as the "Versicherungskarte" or "Doppelkarte" in Germany) is the standard document required as proof of automobile insurance when registering a vehicle. This card serves as evidence that the vehicle is insured, and it is a separate document from the actual insurance policy. While an insurance policy provides detailed information about the coverage, it is the insurance card that is typically presented to authorities for registration purposes. Therefore, an insurance policy itself may not be accepted in lieu of the insurance confirmation card for this specific procedure.
In conclusion, the insurance policy cannot substitute for the insurance confirmation card as proof of automobile insurance under German law and U.S. forces regulations.
