Thanks for all the help on my previous topics

From our experience in Koln, every vehicle* inside the Umwelt zone had a sticker, suggesting that it was enforced.
*apart from the 'student' transport by the university, which were so old that they would never get a sticker! but there may be exemptions for classic vehicles.
Its only 5 euros and simple to do - you need reg doc and a visit to any tourist info who will direct you to the nearest office/garage etc that will issue the sticker
We were sent to the local Ford dealer who sorted us in a few mins despite us being the first UK he had delt with
Not worth chancing a fine

Yes, we agree, we did ours several years ago by sending a photocopy of the V5 and a €5 note to Stad Koln (the city council) and within a few days we got our sticker, class4. We have no idea if they are so accommodating these days.

I totally agree, at 5 euro's it's not worth the the chance of getting caught. Don't think that being a foreigner and no speaka der lingo will help you wriggle out of it. As a foreign registered vehicle you stick out like a sore thumb, When police see the your number plate their eyes will automatically scan your window for the Umwelt Plakette.
It really is very very easy to buy the sticker from any TüV (Mot) station even if you speak no German.
While it sounds easy to go to a TUV coming from Poland there does not seem to be one until near Leipzig and that is only open for 2-3 hours in the afternoon.
As for going to a tourist office, are they not all within the emission zones, so how does one legally get there to start with?
Re Dresden, some websites say it has an emission zone but the official TUV Nord site does not list Dresden. I know some cities, e.g. Hannover are considering abolishing their's. Maybe some have already done so and Dresden s one.
What chassis is your m/home on? You should also be able to get one from main dealers for Fiat, Ford etc, usually situated on the industrial areas on the outskirts of towns. I got them from a Ford and Fiat dealer in the past with no problems.
Also try Dekra outlets and Vehicle Registration centres (Zulassungsstelle).
There are search links for these organisations and others like TUV on my faq post...
you can buy these LE-stickers usually at any garage in germany.
you have to show your car-pass to find out the emission-code.
if needed I will link this code-list.
the alternatives are :
-TÜV (North or South) , technical supervision organisation
-few cities as Berlin or Cologne do offer a sticker service as well
