Apply for day registration for a vehicle
Service description
Would you like to register a new vehicle for one day of road use? If so, you must apply for a one-day registration at your local vehicle registration office. A one-day registration is used to register a vehicle subject to registration for the first time. It is valid for the duration of the day for which you applied for the one-day registration.
You can apply for a one-day registration as:
- Citizens
- Companies, for example
- Car Dealership
- Fleet operators
- Insurance
- Automobile Club
- Regulatory Affairs Service Provider
If you have a one-day registration, your license plates do not require registration stickers or sticker holders for that day. If you drive the vehicle on public roads, you must display the temporary registration certificate inside the vehicle so that it is clearly visible from the outside. This also applies to unlocked vehicles. For motorcycles, you can place the proof, for example, in a fuel tank bag with a transparent window or in a clear plastic sleeve secured with tape.
Once the date of initial registration has passed, the vehicle will be deregistered without any further action on your part. You will then no longer be permitted to drive the vehicle on public roads.
You cannot travel abroad with a temporary registration.
