How and where do I Register?
A completed declaration form together with the vehicle should be presented at any of the 23 Vehicle Registration Offices (VRO) VRO Location Finder Opens in a new window (MS Word 51KB). Declaration forms are available on this website or from any VRO. All passenger (category A) vehicles must have approved documentation confirming the level of CO2 emissions of the vehicle being registered. The VRT will be calculated by the official at the VRO, following inspection of the vehicle. In the case of a used vehicle you must also present the foreign registration document and a document, as approved by the Revenue Commissioners confirming the levels of CO2 emissions of the vehicle at the time of manufacture. Without these registration documents (e.g. Sections 1-8 of the V5C from the UK) it is not possible for Revenue to register your vehicle. Please ensure you have the documents in your possession before you bring the vehicle into the State. If, due to some unforeseen circumstances, you do not have the documents in your possession when bringing the vehicle in you should make contact with your local VRO (see link above) by the next working day and explain the circumstances to them.
If the vehicle is new, VAT is also payable. (See Below)
A copy of the purchase invoice or other evidence of payment for the vehicle must be provided in all cases. You should be aware that inspection of vehicles being registered is a possibility and you should be prepared to make your vehicle available for any such inspection.
Postal applications for registrations of used vehicles may also be made at Vehicle Registration Offices. When making a postal application for registration the application should consist of:
* completed VRT 4 - Declaration for registration of a used vehicle (Other than a motor cycle) Opens in a new window (PDF 92KB) or VRT 5 - Declaration for Registration of a New or used Motor Cycle Opens in a new window (PDF 73KB)(as appropriate);
* a copy of the purchase invoice if available;
* the foreign Registration Book/Certificate or Export Certificate from the foreign licensing authority;
* a bank draft or personal cheque (see 5 below) for the amount of VRT due;
* Documentation (as approved by the Revenue Commissioners) confirming the level of CO2 emissions of the vehicle at the time of manufacture
Dealers can avail of ROS to register new vehicles.
