Vehicle License Renewals Begin – Deadline Approaching

The Department of Road Transport (DRT) has announced the start of vehicle license renewals from January 7, 2026, with a deadline of March 11, 2026. Licenses can be renewed for periods of 3, 6, 9, or 12 months. After the deadline, a surcharge will be applied, consisting of a fixed amount (€10) and a percentage (10%) of the license fee. A certificate of roadworthiness and insurance is required for renewal. The DRT provides support for those facing difficulties with the online renewal process through Provincial Offices, Citizen Service Centers (KEP), and One-Stop Shops (KEPO). The importance of timely renewal to avoid system overload is highlighted, as well as the obligation to notify the DRT of vehicle immobilization if the license is not renewed, to avoid paying fees.
