Re-registering a vehicle after it has been temporarily deregistered
Last update
In Luxembourg, as the owner or holder of a motor vehicle, you can request the re-registration of said vehicle, provided the vehicle was temporarily deregistered beforehand.
Who is concerned?
Any owner/holder of a vehicle registered in Luxembourg who had their vehicle temporarily deregistered.
Prerequisites
You can proceed with the re-registration of a vehicle only after a temporary deregistration of the latter, in the course of which process you have returned Part I of the Certificate of Registration to the National Society of Automotive Traffic (Société nationale de circulation automobile - SNCA).
The vehicle can only be re-registered if the owner has not changed.
Costs
Re-registration
As regards the re-registration of a vehicle, no tax is due with the SNCA.
Road tax
The Customs and Excise Agency (Administration des douanes et accises - ADA) sets the amount of tax based on the data registered by the registration authorities and according to the applicable rates. The amount of the tax due is communicated to the tax debtor.
The Customs and Excise Agency now offers the activation of the eDelivery function for road tax invoices. This means that you will receive your invoices relating to road tax (Autosteier) in electronic format (PDF).
To benefit from this service, you must first subscribe to the eDelivery function. The subscription can be made via the MyGuichet.lu private eSpace under 'My data' in the 'Transport' section, under 'Road tax' (Autosteier). This step is necessary to receive the ADA invoice in the electronic mailbox of your private eSpace.
Moreover, you can receive the road tax certificate by electronic means. You will need to activate the specific eDelivery function for this. Once the invoice has been paid, the certificate will be sent and you can print it out and keep it in your vehicle.
Deposits of new documents in the private eSpace will be notified by email.
How to proceed
Submitting a simplified application for re-registration
You can apply online via the secure MyGuichet.lu platform, accessible 24/7.
After logging in to your private eSpace with your LuxTrust product or your electronic identity card (eID), you need to specify:
- the registration number of the vehicle in question;
- the chassis number;
- the validity status of your technical inspection certificate;
- your full contact details.
You sign the document electronically. The application is then forwarded directly to the SNCA, which in return sends the owner the vehicle registration certificate and a temporary tax certificate that is valid for 30 days.
Submitting an application for re-registration in paper form
You can submit your application using the application form for a vehicle registration certificate (see 'Online services and forms' - Demande en obtention d'un certificat d'immatriculation).
The completed and signed form, along with a copy of an identity document, must then be sent to the SNCA. To do so, you can:
- send your application by post to SNCA - BP 23 / L-5201 Sandweiler; or
- make an appointment and go to the SNCA in person, with the form and your ID card; or
- send your application by email to info@snca.lu.
You will receive a certificate of registration and a temporary tax certificate that is valid for 30 days.
A third party may complete the procedure at the premises of the SNCA, but in such a case the person must present:
- a power of attorney (French, Pdf, 300 Kb) issued by the owner / holder of the vehicle; and
- the registration certificate application form, completed and signed by the owner/holder; and
- a copy of the vehicle owner's/holder's identity document; and
- the third party's own identity document;
Technical inspection
A technical inspection is not compulsory if the technical inspection certificate is still valid.
