A vehicle that has been registered off the road may not be used until it has been re-registered and license plates or a valid inspection sticker are in place.
Registered off the road with a sticker
If a vehicle has been registered off the road with a sticker, you must:
Re-register it using the electronic notification above.
Obtain a new inspection sticker before using the vehicle.
Registered off the road with plate storage
Only the registered owner or custodian may collect the license plates.
Valid identification must be presented.
If another person collects the plates, a written authorization is required.
Note:
The vehicle must be insured and registered for use before number plates can be handed over.
If the vehicle does not have a valid periodic inspection, a one-week grace period may be granted to complete the inspection, unless the license plates were removed by the police. The owner must sign a declaration, and the driving permit must be registered and clearly displayed in the vehicle. Note that this permit does not prevent the imposition of a non-compliance fee at the turn of the month.
License plates removed by the police
Removed due to defects or inspection issues
The vehicle must be taken for inspection.
It may not be registered for use unless the inspection result is:
No remarks
Repairs required
License plates are reissued at the inspection station after inspection.
Removed due to lack of insurance
The vehicle must be insured before collecting the license plates.
Cost
There is no fee for re-registering a vehicle. However, all outstanding public charges related to the vehicle must be paid before license plates are issued.
