What documents do you have to carry with you, if you want to drive a light motorcycle?

In Germany, when driving a light motorcycle, you must carry both your driving licence and the vehicle’s registration certificate Part I (also called the operating licence). The driving licence proves you are authorized to operate the vehicle, while the registration certificate Part I confirms that the motorcycle is registered and legally allowed on the road. The registration certificate Part II is not required to be carried with you while driving; it is used mainly for ownership purposes. Always having these two documents ensures you comply with legal requirements during traffic checks.
