Registration as a subject of mandatory technical control of a vehicle

According to the Law on Road Traffic, a number of vehicles must undergo mandatory technical control to ensure road safety. These include taxis, trucks, buses, and vehicles transporting dangerous goods. The inspection involves checking the lights, brake system, tires and wheels, horn, steering, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, and emergency sign.

Before passing the technical control, vehicle owners check whether the contractor meets the requirements for entities that carry out mandatory control. In other words, they check whether the entity is listed in the Register (this can be checked on the website of the Main Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) and whether it has the right to perform control of a certain type of vehicle.

If you are going to carry out mandatory technical control of vehicles in the near future and do not yet know what is required for this, please contact the employees of RegService. Here you will receive detailed advice, as well as assistance in obtaining a certificate and registration in the register of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
