Fees and charges for transport services

Activities related to vehicle registration and road services require users to pay fees and charges. These amounts are not fixed permanently but are updated through regulations to reflect the real cost of services.

These fees apply to technical and administrative operations, such as issuing and renewing driving licenses, vehicle procedures, authorizations, and technical inspections. Part of these funds also supports the centralized system for license validity.

The collected money is used for specific purposes. It funds the purchase and maintenance of technical equipment, supports administrative systems, and ensures the proper functioning of transport offices.

A portion is also used for staff training, ensuring personnel remain updated on regulations and technologies. Additionally, funds cover technical activities such as inspections, approvals, testing, and material management.

These resources are also used to maintain and update national databases, such as road archives and traffic data systems, which are essential for road safety.

The Ministry of Economy manages these funds at the budget level and allocates them to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.

Road authorities may also charge fees for permits, authorizations, and concessions. These funds are similarly used to improve services, train personnel, and update traffic data.

In summary, user payments support the functioning, improvement, and safety of the entire road system.
