From January 2026 onward, all electric scooters must be recorded in the new National Vehicle Register managed by the DGT before being used on public roads.
Registration key points:
-
Every scooter must be linked to its owner and carry an official identification number and visible tag issued by the DGT.
-
Models certified by the DGT, which meet defined technical standards, are straightforward to register online.
-
For older or non-certified scooters, temporary registration is possible with supporting documents like purchase invoices or technical sheets — but this is only valid until January 22, 2027. After that, only certified scooters will be legal on public roads.
-
The registration fee set by the DGT is €8.67 per vehicle.
Registration serves as the foundation for both legal compliance and insurance linkage.
