The 2026 plate reform
Plate change: your answer in two questions
Most owners have nothing to do today. Two questions — no account, no scan — to know exactly where you stand.
Based on the reform announced in August 2026 (NARSA / Ministry of Transport). If in doubt, confirm with NARSA.
What the reform actually says
The obligation is event-driven, not date-driven — that is the confusion this page exists to clear up.
An already-registered vehicle changes nothing until its first sale: the new model is issued at the ownership transfer.
The only firm deadline — 31 December 2026 — concerns old international-format plates, and only for driving abroad.
Since 3 August 2026, every new registration and import automatically receives the new single model.
