Having trouble registering your vehicle?

Use this contact form. Please attach a full screenshot of the issue you have encountered, with the date and time clearly visible, so that we can resolve it as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

Please note

Do not rely on websites offering you the purchase of stickers. They are neither necessary nor valid to travel in the Brussels LEZ.

The only LEZ-related charge is a day pass and it can only be purchased via this website. All other LEZ-related procedures (exemption and registration) are free of charge and can only be done via this site.

On 23 January 2019, the Brussels court for French-speaking businesses handed down a ruling ordering Green Zone, a company governed by German law, to correct, in all the languages used on its websites, the erroneous information that encourages the purchase of a sticker to register a vehicle registered abroad.

For a vehicle registered in the Netherlands:

If your vehicle meets the LEZ access criteria, registration is not necessary.
If your vehicle does not meet the LEZ access criteria, registration is compulsory, as it will enable you to purchase a day pass or apply for an exemption.

To find out whether or not your vehicle meets the LEZ access criteria, go to our simulator.

What you need to know about the registration of your vehicle

Registration concerns cars, vans (≤ 3.5 tonnes), minibuses and buses/coaches registered abroad, except for vehicles registered in the Netherlands.
Mopeds, scooters, motorbikes, and heavy goods vehicles don’t need to register before 2027.
Vehicle registration is free and valid for 5 years, provided that the vehicle information does not change.
Users must register before entering OR within the five days after entering the Low Emission Zone. Example: if I drive in the LEZ on the 3rd of January with a foreign-registered vehicle, I have until midnight on the 8th of January to register it.
The vehicle registration certificate is required to register.

More than 20 vehicles to register?

For companies or other types of organisations with a fleet of more than 20 foreign-registered vehicles, it is possible to submit a “mass” exemption application by contacting Bruxelles Fiscalité (Brussels Taxation) at this e-mail adress: info.fiscalite@fisc.brussels.
For a fleet of more than 20 vehicles, the vehicles registration is free and valid for 5 years, provided that the vehicles information do not change.

Error in the registration?

If, once validated, there is an error in your registration, you can correct this error by making a new registration request. The information in the new record will automatically replace the information of the previous form.

What is the expiry date of my registration?

To find out the due date of registration or to check if the vehicle is registered, simply enter the licence plate and the date of first registration in the simulator.

To renew the registration, simply complete the form again. Please note: no expiry reminders will be sent.

Fines

Any vehicle entering the Brussels Region Low Emission Zone without registering in advance is liable to a fine of €150 (even if the vehicle complies with the conditions for accessing the LEZ). Any inaccurate information submitted during registration is liable for an administrative fine of €25.
