Registration of Imported Cars in the Czech Republic: Complete Process with Service Station

Planning to register an imported vehicle from outside the EU and not sure how to get through the legalization process? Import car registration in the Czech Republic is a multi-step procedure that requires knowledge of local legislation and technical standards.

ALAR CZ handles the full process: technical inspection, insurance, and registration with minimal involvement from the owner.

Why Is Registration of Cars from Third Countries More Complicated?

Importing cars from countries outside the EU (USA, UAE, Switzerland, Ukraine, and others) requires additional steps:

customs clearance — processing of duties and VAT, including exemption from customs duty and VAT where applicable;
technical adaptation — inspection of lighting, exhaust system, and instrument panel to meet EU standards;
car certification for non-European vehicles — confirmation of compliance with EU safety requirements.

Skipping any of these steps makes registration impossible. We handle all of them on your behalf.

What Is Included in the Import Vehicle Registration Service?

Our team handles all interactions with government authorities to help you register imported car correctly and on time.

Stages of the procedure:

Verification of vehicle documents — Certificate of Origin and Technical data sheet (ZTP).
Preparation of the car for registration and individual import registration.
Organization of insurance.
Passing Czech STK — provided as part of the full car registration service only. Submission of documents to the vehicle register.
Submission of documents to the vehicle register.

At the end of the process, the owner receives license plates and registration documents — the car is fully ready for operation in the Czech Republic and across the EU.

Insurance of an Imported Car

Before import vehicle registration is finalised, the vehicle must be insured:

mandatory liability insurance (Povinné ručení) — compulsory third-party coverage;
CASCO insurance— additional protection against damage and theft.

We work with leading Czech insurance providers and select the most suitable terms for your vehicle.
