Before your visit

Must vehicle tax be paid before inspection?

Yes. Overdue vehicle tax and late-payment interest must be paid. A prohibition of use caused by unpaid tax prevents approval of the inspection. Future instalments do not need to be paid early.

Re-inspection within 1 month

Take a rejected vehicle for re-inspection within 1 month of the original inspection. If the deadline is missed, the periodic inspection must be carried out again in full.

For a periodic-inspection re-inspection, you may choose a different inspection station from the one that rejected the vehicle.

The re-inspection deadline is not permission to drive

If the vehicle was inspected within its inspection period and rejected without a driving ban, it may be used for up to 2 months after rejection once the defects causing rejection have been repaired. If it was inspected after the inspection period had expired, it is prohibited from use. A vehicle placed under a driving ban may not be used in traffic.

Good to know before booking

Can I come to SK even if the vehicle failed elsewhere?

Yes. A periodic inspection re-inspection can be completed at a station of your choice within the one-month deadline.

What if a month has already passed?

Then re-inspection alone is no longer sufficient; the vehicle must undergo a new periodic inspection.

Do I have a month to keep driving the vehicle?

Not automatically. The re-inspection period is not permission to drive. Check the inspection certificate separately for vehicle-use instructions and any driving prohibition.
