I didn't expect an app from the German Federal Motor Transport Authority to be enjoyable, but i-Kfz puts your vehicle registration (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I) on your iPhone — set up via eID or QR code — and shows it offline when you get pulled over. The automatic reminder for the next inspection is handy, and you can hand out a shared copy by link or QR and revoke it whenever you want. Free, and a rare case of German bureaucracy that actually works on a phone.

Summary
i-Kfz is an app for managing a digital vehicle registration document on a mobile device. Vehicle owners can have the document issued using the eID function or by scanning a QR code obtained during registration. The app automatically checks the validity of the document when opened and provides reminders for upcoming periodic technical inspections. Vehicle and owner data can be viewed at any time, even without an internet connection, for example during a traffic check. The document can be shared with third parties via link or QR code for permanent or temporary use, and users can delete the document or its shared versions themselves.
