National or EU individual approval?

National individual approval can be granted for category M, N and O vehicles. EU individual approval is a separate procedure and is available only for vehicles within its scope.

For a used imported vehicle, the usual procedure is generally a registration inspection rather than individual approval.

Good to know before booking

Does the price list also cover EU individual approval?

No. The €225–380 price list applies to national individual approval. The requirements and costs of the EU procedure are assessed separately.

Is this the right service for a used imported vehicle?

A used imported vehicle normally requires a registration inspection. Individual approval applies to a new vehicle or trailer before first registration.

Is VAT added to the price?

No. VAT is not added to the national individual approval fee.
