After identification, select your service role: personal services, acting on behalf of another person or acting on behalf of a company/an organisation.
Recommission your decommissioned vehicle, motorcycle or other vehicle before taking it on the road again. The commissioning takes effect immediately after the notification.
You can use your vehicle again when:
- You have commissioned it
- The periodic inspection of the vehicle is valid
- The motor vehicle liability insurance is valid
- The registration plates are attached
- Any overdue vehicle tax has been paid.
The commissioning is valid until further notice, but it cannot be done in advance, retrospectively or for a limited period.
If you recommission a vehicle that you have decommissioned, you will have to pay vehicle tax in any case. Even if you only used the vehicle for a short period and then decommissioned it, the vehicle tax is at least EUR 10.
When can you notify the commissioning of your vehicle?
- You are the owner or the holder of the vehicle.
- You are at least 15 years old.
