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

Are you planning to import a car from abroad and don’t know how to go through legalization? Registration of an imported car in the Czech Republic is a complex process that requires knowledge of legislation.

ALAR CZ organizes car registration “turnkey”: technical inspection (STK), insurance, and registration with minimal involvement of the owner.

Why registration of cars from third countries is more complicated

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

customs clearance – processing of duties and VAT;
technical adaptation – inspection of lighting, exhaust system, and instrument panel;
certification – confirmation of compliance with EU safety standards.

Without these steps, registration of an imported vehicle is impossible, therefore we support the process at all stages.

What is included in the service of registration of an imported car in the Czech Republic

Our team takes over interaction with government authorities and helps to register an imported car.

Stages of the procedure:

Verification of car documents.
Preparation of the car for registration.
Organization of insurance.
Passing the Czech technical inspection (STK) – the service is provided only as part of the car registration.
Submission of documents to the vehicle register.

After completion of the procedure, the owner receives license plates and registration documents, and the car becomes fully ready for operation in the Czech Republic and the EU.

Insurance of an imported car

Before the registration of a car after import is completed, it is important to protect your vehicle and arrange:

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

We cooperate with leading insurance companies in the Czech Republic and select favorable tariffs. Assistance in resolving insurance claims applies only to cars.
