Inspection guides

Answers before your inspection

Check the practical details before your visit and open the detailed guide if needed.

Where can I check the inspection due date?

Check the next inspection date in Traficom My e-Services, on the inspection certificate or in Part I of the registration certificate.

Do I need an appointment?

For a standard passenger car or van inspection, you may also visit without an appointment during station opening hours. Heavy-vehicle and special-service visits must be arranged in advance.

What should I bring?

Bring the vehicle and key. Keep your booking confirmation available if you booked an appointment. Also bring any separate emissions test certificate and service-specific documents.

Can someone else bring the vehicle?

Someone other than the owner may bring the vehicle for a periodic inspection. For registration and ownership matters, check in advance whether authorisation is required.

How long does an inspection take?

If you have booked an appointment and arrive on time, a periodic inspection for a car or van takes about 15–20 minutes. We cannot guarantee the duration of a drive-in visit. The time needed for heavy vehicles and specialist services is agreed separately.

What if the vehicle fails?

Repair the defects that caused the rejection and take the vehicle for a re-inspection within 1 month. Check the inspection certificate separately to see whether the vehicle may be used in traffic.

What is included in the package from €59?

The inspection package includes the periodic inspection and the required emissions test for a vehicle under 3,500 kg. Re-inspection is not included.

The inspection package costs €17 more at the station than when booked online.
