    Since May 1, 2006, vehicles must be equipped with a digital tachograph instead of a tachograph. Workshops therefore require a workshop card to install and calibrate the new digital recording equipment. The following data can be found on the workshop card:

    • Name of the workshop
    • Address of the workshop
    • Name/first name of the owner
    • Period of validity

     

    Who should I contact?

    When applying for a workshop card, please contact the responsible trade supervisory office.

     

    Remarks

    Workshop cards are valid for 1 year.
