Cyprus: Vehicle License Renewal Process Begins - Key Dates and Regulations

The vehicle license renewal process for 2026 has begun in Cyprus, with a deadline of March 11th, 2026, to avoid surcharges. Licenses can be renewed for periods of 3, 6, 9, or 12 months. After the deadline, a surcharge will be applied, calculated based on the amount due for the license and a fixed fee. Renewal can be done online, requiring a certificate of roadworthiness and insurance. Completion of the process is confirmed by the license printing screen, which displays the expiration month and year, as well as the vehicle registration number. The Department of Road Transport has improved the payment system for enhanced security. Citizens are encouraged to renew their licenses promptly to avoid potential system overload. Those who do not renew and do not declare immobilization will be subject to fines or removal from the registry. In case of vehicle destruction, an application for cancellation of registration with the relevant certificate is required.
