Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for authenticating a motor vehicle to perform at least one procedure relating to a predetermined region able to be traveled through by the motor vehicle. When the motor vehicle approaches, the predetermined region is captured by a capturing device of the motor vehicle, and is identified accordingly. An identification message of the captured predetermined region is then output by the motor vehicle to a server device. Next, a request message for authenticating the motor vehicle is output in response to the identification message by the server device to a further server device associated with the predetermined region, and an authentication criterion is checked by the further server device.
