Three questions that keep coming up
What does replacing a lost car registration book cost?
Ten dinars, and it starts with a police report. A damaged book is five and needs no report — so a book you can barely read is better treated as damaged before it becomes lost.
Is there a fee that costs more to renew than to issue?
Yes, one: the light transport (pickup) driving permit. Ten dinars to issue, seventeen to renew. Every other permit on the traffic page is cheaper to renew, or the same.
Where is a late vehicle licence fee paid?
Not at traffic. The five-dinar late fee is paid at the traffic violations investigation section, which is a separate errand from the renewal itself.
Services whose fee is not stated by the issuing body are not listed here — this page carries figures, not estimates. The full conditions for each line are in its own post, and there is more in the
How To section.
