The Department of Road Transport, Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, announces the following in relation to the renewal of quarterly and half-yearly vehicle registration permits for 2022 which will expire on 30 June 2022:
The last date for the renewal of these permits is Thursday 8.9.2022.
These registration permits may be renewed from Friday 1.7.2022 for a period of three or six months.
On the basis of the legislation in force, these permits may be renewed free of charge until Thursday 8.9.2022. After Thursday 8.9.2022, the sum of EUR 10 and an amount equal to ten per cent (10%) of the registration permit corresponding to the remaining amount due for the current year shall be imposed as a surcharge on the registration permit.
For the renewal of the registration licence there must be a Certificate of Fitness and insurance for the vehicle.
TOM advises everyone to take care of the renewal of their vehicle registration in time and not to wait for the last few days, in order to avoid possible overloading of the system which may cause inconvenience.
It is reminded and stressed 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 due to the Republic.
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 which have not been registered as immobilised 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.
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, in order to be exempted from the obligation to pay registration fees from the date of vehicle destruction.
Registration permits are renewed online, at Banks, KEPs, KEPOs and provincial TOM offices, throughout the year.
[*]It is reminded and stressed that no notifications will be sent to the registered owners for the renewal of registration permits for the third quarter or the second half of 2022.
