Thinking about renewing your car tax online but not sure what to do for cars over 7 years old?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! The Department of Land Transport now allows vehicles over 7 years old to renew their tax online. It’s super convenient, but there are a few conditions to meet first. Let’s break it down step by step.

Can You Renew Online for Cars Over 7 Years Old?

Yes, you can! But make sure you meet these conditions:

• Get your car inspected at an authorized inspection center (TRO) first.
• You must not owe more than 1 year of unpaid tax.
• Your car must not use any type of gas (e.g., LPG or NGV).
• The registration status must be normal and not suspended due to unpaid tax for 3 consecutive years.
• Your car must not be seized or belong to a government agency.

Do Cars Over 7 Years Old Require Annual Inspections?

Yes, they do! Vehicles over 7 years old need an annual inspection before renewing the tax. This ensures your car is safe to drive and prevents accidents caused by worn-out parts or other issues.

What Documents Do You Need?

• Vehicle registration book (complete details required)
• Compulsory motor insurance (Por Ror Bor) that’s still valid (you can also buy it online)
• Inspection certificate from an authorized center (for cars over 7 years old)
