The Cyprus Road Transport Department (RTD) has announced that vehicle licence renewals for 2025 will commence on Tuesday, 7 January.
Vehicle owners have until midnight on Tuesday, 11 March 2025, to renew their licences without incurring penalties. Licences can be renewed for periods of three, six, nine or twelve months.
Late renewals after 11 March will face a surcharge comprising a €10 fee plus 10% of the licence fee due for the current year.
The department said that vehicles must have both a valid roadworthiness certificate and insurance coverage to be eligible for renewal.
Renewals can only be completed online, except for specific categories including vehicles belonging to embassies, large family private buses, quarry vehicles, vintage cars with special permits, UN vehicles, and vehicles belonging to organisations with exemption code 04.
The RTD advised motorists to renew their licences early to avoid potential system overload during the final days of the renewal period.
Owners who do not plan to renew their 2025 licence must submit an immobilisation notice to the RTD, which can be done through the department’s website. Failure to do so will result in continued liability for licence fees.
Vehicles without a 2024 licence that have not been declared immobilised will be removed from the RTD registry if owners fail to pay outstanding 2024 fees and renew for 2025 by the March deadline.
The department also reminded vehicle owners to update their contact details in the RTD registry to receive important notifications, including recall information.
No renewal notices will be sent to vehicle owners.
