How do I register a zero-emission vehicle registered abroad?
For vehicles registered abroad, registration using the form is required. Thus it is always necessary to attach the ORV (vehicle registration certificate, in Czech known as the “small technical licence”) with the certificate number, VIN, fuel type and licence plate number.
The ORV number is the document number (serial number) of the vehicle registration certificate. If the certificate does not include English, a certified translation must be provided.
You can check whether a vehicle has been registered using Registration check.
Notice for vehicles registered abroad: Always upload as an attachment the actual ORV, not a different document. The registration document for Ukrainian vehicles in the Czech Republic is not a valid equivalent.
How can I tell if my registration has been successfully completed?
You can check whether your vehicle has been registered on the list of zero-emission vehicles using Registration check. If you provided an e-mail address when registering, you will receive a notification by e-mail.
Notice for vehicles registered abroad: Always upload as an attachment the actual ORV, not a different document. The registration document for Ukrainian vehicles in the Czech Republic is not a valid equivalent.
What is an ORV, where do I find its number and what attachments should I include with my application?
In most cases, the vehicle registration certificate (ORV) is a small plastic card (in the Czech Republic called the “small technical licence”). You can usually find the ORV number on the front of this card.
Vehicles registered in the Czech Republic: attach the ORV (the side that includes the ORV number and licence plate number).
Vehicles registered abroad: attach the ORV (the pages/sides that include the licence plate number, ORV number, VIN and fuel type). The ORV number is the document number (serial number) of the vehicle registration certificate.
Notice for vehicles registered abroad: Always upload as an attachment the actual ORV, not a different document. The registration document for Ukrainian vehicles in the Czech Republic is not a valid equivalent.
How and when should I anonymise the vehicle registration certificate?
To anonymise the ORV, all you need to do is remove the personal data such as name, surname, and home address. You can remove these in several ways: manually, for example by covering up the data, or by using an anonymisation tool.
Anonymisation is not required, but it is in the interest of the client to anonymise the document when registering a vehicle (this does not apply to businesses).
What should I do if the system reports the entered ORV does not exist?
First make sure that:
- you didn’t mistype the ORV number;
- ORV number does not contain any spaces;
- you are really entering the number of the ORV (generally a small plastic card) and not the number of Section II of the ORV (also known as the “large technical licence”).
Please note: If you have a newly issued ORV the information is entered into the system with a one-day delay. The vehicle cannot be registered until the following day.
Why is there a reCAPTCHA on the Registration Form?
reCAPTCHA helps protect the form against bots and abuse (spam, mass registration, attacks), among other things helping protect user data.
