Receiving the vehicle licence

• When your vehicle passes the roadworthiness test its vehicle license will be stamped, making it valid.
• If you did not bring the license to the testing institute you can print it there.

You can get a copy of your vehicle license:

• at a licensing office or rishiomat stand
• by printing it, if you received it by email after online or by phone on *5678. You can print as many copies as you need

When is your vehicle exempt from the road worthiness test

You do not need to get your vehicle tested if it's:

• a private vehicle that's been registered for less than three years
• a rental or leasing vehicle that's been registered for less than two years

Your vehicle license will include a note stating that you do not need to take your vehicle for testing. If the note does not appear, you must take the vehicle to pass a roadworthiness test.
