Registration check and import

When you need a registration check and how the inspection works for an imported car.

When do I need a registration check?

A registration check is needed when the vehicle is transferred to a new owner, when it is imported and when it is exported. It verifies that the vehicle matches the register (for example the VIN) and is carried out by vehicle inspection stations. It is not required for a change of operator in a lease.

When does an imported car need an STK?

For a car imported from the EU, the first deadline counts from the first registration in the country of origin. For an import from outside the EU, it counts from the inspection for registration: a car then goes for an STK within 2 years and every 2 years after that.
