Duplicate vehicle registration certificate

The vehicle registration certificate is an essential document that must always be carried while driving. If the original document is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, it is necessary to request a duplicate. The procedure for obtaining a duplicate is managed by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport through digital systems, aiming to make the process as simple and efficient as possible. In many cases, the request can also be made through authorized agencies or intermediaries.

The duplicate has the same legal value as the original document and completely replaces it. It is important to request it promptly to avoid issues during road checks.

While waiting for the duplicate to be issued, a temporary document or an extract of the registration certificate may be provided. This allows the vehicle to be used legally until the final duplicate is issued.

Anyone who drives without carrying a valid document proving the vehicle’s registration details, such as the extract or duplicate, is subject to an administrative fine. This requirement ensures that authorities can always verify vehicle information during inspections.
