Since 20 May 2018, if you’re the registered owner of an imported used commercial vehicle from another EU Member State and the vehicle has a current valid roadworthiness certificate issued by that EU member state at the time the vehicle was registered in Ireland, you can have the unexpired portion of the certificate recognised by exchanging the certificate for an Irish-issued EU recognition certificate. However, the out-of-state roadworthiness certificate must still be valid under Irish legal testing rules.
Visit our mutual recognition of EU roadworthiness certificates page for further information.
