As of May 20, the legal suspension of the vehicle’s registration certificate will be enforced if the Periodic Technical Inspection (ITP) expires. “The policeman will take over the registration certificate and the plates, will fine you and will sign a document which does not provide the right to go in traffic, so you will not take the car from the site unless you take it on the platform or pushed, then you have to go to the Auto Registry (RAR),” the Interior Ministry (MAI) informs.
.”Check the deadline for conducting the ITP. As of May 20, 2018, if caught in traffic and the ITP is expired, the policeman will suspend and retain the registration certificate and the plates, will fine you and give you a document which does not provide the right to go in traffic, so you will not be able to take the car from that site, unless with a platform or pushed. Then you have to go to the Auto Registry, so it becomes complicated,” MAI informs in a post on Facebook on Friday.
“The same procedure is when a vehicle has been sold/bought but not registered on the new owner’s name within 90 days,” MAI further informs.
The registration certificate suspension ends when a new technical inspection is completed.
These procedures will be enforced following the coming into force of the Government Ordinance regarding the suspension of vehicle registration (GO 14/August 18, 2017) as of May 20, which amends and completes the Government Emergency Ordinance no.195/2002 regarding traffic on public roads.
The Government adopted the document in order to transpose the EU Directive 2014/46 regarding the registration documents for vehicles.
