You are involved in an accident. What document must you present to the other person involved in the accident, if requested?

In Germany, if you are involved in an accident, you are legally required to provide the other party with certain documents upon request. Specifically, you must show your driving licence to prove you are authorized to drive, and the vehicle registration certificate Part I (Fahrzeugschein) or the operating permit, which confirms that the vehicle is properly registered and allowed on the road. These documents help establish responsibility and ensure that all parties have the necessary information. The liability insurance contract is not typically shown at the scene; however, the insurance information is usually exchanged through the insurance cards or later through official channels. Remembering to present these documents helps in handling the accident properly and legally.
