Important information

Vehicle registration requirements in Poland vary depending on whether the vehicle was purchased in Poland, imported from another EU country or imported from outside the European Union. Additional requirements may apply to imported vehicles, including translations, technical inspection, excise tax, customs documentation or other formalities depending on the vehicle and country of origin. The documents required can also differ depending on whether the vehicle is new or used and whether the owner is an individual or a business. The competent Polish authority makes the final decision regarding registration and may request additional documents in an individual case.
