License Renewals: Two Days Left to Renew – 677,133 Renewed So Far

Only two days remain to renew vehicle licenses for 2026, with the deadline expiring on Wednesday, March 11th at 24:00. As of yesterday, 677,133 licenses had been renewed, slightly less compared to the same period in 2025 (680,670). The Ministry of Transport encourages vehicle owners to renew their licenses promptly to avoid system overload and inconvenience. For renewals after the deadline, a surcharge of 10 euros plus 10% of the vehicle license fee will be imposed. Licenses can be renewed for 3, 6, 9 or 12 months and require a certificate of roadworthiness and insurance. It is reminded that vehicles that do not renew their license and are not declared as immobilized may be removed from the register of the Department of Road Transport.
