Quarterly or semi-annual vehicle registration permits that will expire on 30 June must be renewed by 8 September 2022, the Department of Road Transport reminds in a statement, noting that the possibility of renewal starts on 1 July.
Traffic permits can be renewed online, at Banks, CCPs, KEPOs and provincial TOM offices throughout the year.
The notice notes that, under current legislation, these traffic permits can be renewed until Thursday 8.9.2022 without charge. After Thursday 8.9.2022, the sum of 10 euros and an amount equal to ten per cent (10%) of the registration permit corresponding to the remaining amount due for the current year will be imposed as a surcharge on the registration permit.
It is also noted that for the renewal of the registration permit, a Certificate of Fitness and insurance for the vehicle will be required.
TOM reminds that, those who had renewed their vehicle registration for the second quarter or first half of 2022 but do not intend to renew it for the remaining period of 2022, should submit to the Road Transport Department an application to immobilize the vehicle by completing form TOM 12A. This application is made online through the Department's Online Services. Otherwise, the obligation to pay the amount corresponding to the registration fee shall continue to exist as a civil debt owed to the Republic.
In addition, it is added, vehicles for which the registration permit has not been renewed for twelve consecutive months (i.e. the last registration permit expired on 30/6/2021) and have not been registered as immobilized will be deleted from the TOM register if the amount due for the twelve months is not paid and the registration permit is renewed, by Thursday 8.9.2022, for at least three months. This procedure is also done online, the TOM notes.
In case of vehicle destruction, owners should submit to the TOM a vehicle registration cancellation application (form TOM 98A) accompanied by the "Certificate of Destruction" issued by licensed vehicle waste treatment facilities to be exempted from the obligation to pay registration fees from the date of vehicle destruction.
TOM stresses that no notifications will be sent to registered owners, for the renewal of registration permits for the third quarter or the second half of 2022 and advises everyone to ensure that they renew their vehicle registration permit in time and not to wait for the last few days, to avoid possible overloading of the system that may cause inconvenience.
