Is the vehicle you are selling less than 3 years old?
Provided the vehicle passes the inspection, you will receive a technical inspection certificate that is valid until it is 4 years old. The same thing applies if the vehicle is fitted with a towing device for a maximum authorised mass of the trailer not exceeding 750 kg. If, on the other hand, the vehicle is intended to tow a trailer whose maximum authorised mass exceeds 750 kg, you will then receive a technical inspection certificate valid for 1 year.

Is the vehicle you are selling more than 3 years old?
Provided the vehicle passes the inspection, you will receive a technical inspection certificate with a validity of 1 year.

This report covers the results of 33 additional inspection points, thereby informing the potential buyer of the general condition of the vehicle not affecting safety directly.

This has a validity of 2 monthes from the date of inspection.

The Car-Pass provides traceability and guarantee of the mileage.

As of June 1, 2019, you can opt for the presentation plate of your choice:

The most recent registration plate of the vehicle, Another Belgian registration plate which is not cancelled. A registration plate is considered to be cancelled if it has been returned to the DIV, if it has been lost or stolen, or if it has not been assigned to a vehicle for more than 4 months.

Private individuals do not need commercial plates (Z/ZZ) anymore to present a vehicle. However, if the vehicle is presented by a professional, that person is required to prove that he/she is authorised to present vehicles with trade plates by presenting a use of commercial plates certificate.

The existing regulations on public roads remain applicable, especially regarding your insurance coverage.

Formulaire conformité 

In this case, this extra inspection will only be performed during the first basic technical inspection (periodic, secondhand…).

Important
The regulatory checks linked to this kind of installations must be carried out by an authorised installer before the vehicle undertakes a technical inspection.
A CNG installation for example must undertake a visual check on the tanks before it is 4 years old! Contact your vehicle dealer or an authorised installer for information.

The vehicle must be presented within 30 calendar days in one of our inspection centres to check on the conformity of the installation and notify the competent tax authorities, regardless the year of the vehicle or its use.

The inspection of the installation will be carried out during the periodic inspection. 

The LPG/CNG tank must be filled at the time of the inspection.

If the installation meets the standards, a label shall be issued and affixed to the windscreen of the vehicle. If any defects are reported in terms of the LPG/CNG equipment, the vehicle will receive a certificate with a limited or no validity; this is the case even if the vehicle is in good condition and is not powered by gas anymore.

The removal must be carried out by an authorised installer who will issue a specific removal attest. The vehicle must then be presented within 30 calendar days in one of our inspection centres, independently of any other technical inspection.

It is possible to carry out the transfer of a vehicle and its registration plate between spouses or legal cohabitees, or from a parent to a child.

To do this, we invite you to make an appointment with your insurance company, taking the following documents with you (which can be obtained, where necessary, from your local council):

• the vehicle’s registration certificate
• a copy of the marriage certificate (spouses) or proof of legal cohabitation (legal cohabitees)
• a copy of the birth certificate in the event of a transfer to a child
• a letter from the owner, confirming the disposal

If the person disposing of the vehicle is deceased, you must have the documents for the vehicle, as well as a copy of the death certificate.

In the event of a death, the vehicle must be re-registered within 4 months. Once this period has expired, a used vehicle inspection must be carried out.

The ‘paper’ version of the registration application, completed, signed and accompanied by any annexes, must be submitted directly to a Vehicle Registration Department (DIV) office or via bpost.

It is not possible to transfer registration plates in the old format (5 or 6 characters).

If this is the case, as in the case of the transfer of a vehicle but not its plates, you will need to obtain a registration application from an inspection centre. This will merely involve a simple administrative visit.

Please bring the following documents with you:

• The registration certificate
• The certificate of conformity
• The most recent technical inspection certificate
• A copy of the marriage certificate (spouses) or proof of legal cohabitation (legal cohabitees)
• A copy of the birth certificate in the event of a transfer to a child (can be obtained from your local council)
• A letter from the owner, confirming the disposal or a copy of the death certificate.

Then go to your insurance company, taking the following documents with you:

• The registration application
• The registration certificate for the vehicle
• A copy of the marriage certificate (spouses) or proof of legal cohabitation (legal cohabitees)
• A copy of the birth certificate in the event of a transfer to a child (can be obtained from your local council)
• A letter from the owner, confirming the disposal or a copy of the death certificate.

In the event of a death, the vehicle must be re-registered within 4 monthes. Once this period has expired, a used vehicle inspection must be carried out.

If your vehicle is fitted with a towing device designed to tow trailers whose maximum authorised mass (MAM) does not exceed 750 kg or is intended to act as a ‘bike-carrier’, then don’t forget that this device must also be inspected:

As soon as the device is placed in service

As soon as your vehicle has been fitted with a towing device or ‘bike-carrier’, even if new, it must be presented for a technical inspection.

If your vehicle is less than 4 years old:
• If a full inspection was carried out less than 2 months ago, or the vehicle has never been presented for inspection, a partial inspection consisting of a check of the towing device and the way it has been attached will be carried out. A technical inspection certificate, valid until your vehicle is 4 years old, will then be issued. The same thing applies for a new vehicle fitted with such a device.
• If a full inspection was carried out more than 2 monthes ago, a full inspection will have to be carried out.
A technical inspection certificate, valid until your vehicle is 4 years old, will be issued unless the vehicle is in its 4th year, in which case validity of 1 year will be given.

If your vehicle is 4 years old or more and the most recent full inspection was carried out more than 2 months ago, a full inspection will be carried out. The date of this inspection will then become the new reference date. If your vehicle underwent a full inspection less than 2 months ago, then you may benefit from a partial inspection. This inspection will not affect the validity of your technical inspection certificate.

Periodic inspections
A full towing device, installed and attached, is mandatory during the periodic inspection, otherwise a red certificate with validity limited to 15 days will be issued to you.

After removal (administrative regularisation)
Removal of a towing device requires you to present the vehicle for administrative regularisation at an inspection centre. Given the individual cases likely to be encountered, we suggest that you contact our customer service department on 087/57.20.30 for more information.

If your vehicle is fitted with a towing device intended to tow trailers whose maximum authorised mass (MAM) is greater than 750 kg, then don’t forget that it must also be inspected:

As soon as the device is placed in service
As soon as your vehicle has been fitted with a towing device, you must present it for a technical inspection. This will be a full inspection (basic inspection + checks on the towing device and the way it has been attached).

If your vehicle passes the inspection, you will receive a technical inspection certificate with the wording ‘vehicle for towing trailer’, as well as the masses that can be towed. In this case, the validity of the certificate will be for 1 year.

If your vehicle has undergone a full inspection less than 2 months ago, then you may benefit from a partial inspection consisting of a check on the towing device and the way it has been attached.

Annual inspection
A full towing device, installed and attached, is mandatory during the periodic inspection, otherwise a red certificate with validity limited to 15 days will be issued to you.

After removal (administrative regularisation)
Removal of a towing device requires you to present the vehicle for administrative regularisation at an inspection centre. Given the individual cases likely to be encountered, we suggest that you contact our customer service department on 087/57.20.30 for more information.

Since 1 April 2019, it is possible to register vehicles imported from the EU via WebDIV.

This procedure is only possible if all following conditions are met:

1. Your vehicle has to be a category M, N or O.
M: cars and buses
N: (light) trucks
O: (semi)trailers

Categories T, C, R and S (agricultural tractors, tracked vehicles and agricultural trailers) are excluded.

2. Your chassis number must contain 17 characters.

3. Your vehicle needs to clear customs. Go to the nearest customs office with the documents of the vehicle and the purchase invoice.

4. You need to pre-register your vehicle. Visit the website for FPS Mobility and Transport and have your electronic identity card ready.

If all these steps are carried out in this order, the registration can directly be made by the insurer.

For vehicles already registered in another Member State of the European Union and that have a European approval number, the European certificate of conformity (COC) is not required. This means that these vehicles are exempt from the approval inspection and may be presented directly for a used vehicle inspection in any of our centres.

All other vehicles must have a Belgian or European certificate of conformity. Where applicable, you can obtain this certificate from the official importer for the make of vehicle, or on completion of a special approval inspection at an inspection centre with authority to carry out such inspections.

For more information about this type of inspection, we advise you to contact our customer service department on 087/57.20.30.

To make an appointment (which is compulsory for this procedure), call 087/39.39.49.

When there is a change of owner, a used vehicle inspection must be carried out. For this type of inspection, an appointment must be made by calling our customer service department on 087/39.39.49. Making appointments online is not possible for vehicles coming from aboard. 

Provided your vehicle passes the technical inspection, a label will be issued and placed on the registration application form. Your insurer can then affix its official stamp and lodge your registration application with the Department of Vehicle Registrations (DIV).

To register a new vehicle or for re-registrations in the name of the same owner, a used vehicle inspection is not necessary. All processes will then be carried out with your insurer. We would draw your attention to the obligation of presenting for a technical inspection any vehicle that is 4 years old.
