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.

Check my vehicle

Following the vote by the Brussels Parliament on October 4th, 2024, the milestone of January 1st, 2025 for the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) has been postponed to the 1st of January 2027 for all concerned vehicles. If your vehicle currently isn’t authorized to drive in the LEZ, you still need to buy a day pass. It is not yet possible to purchase this for the year 2025. The purchase form will be updated shortly.

A day pass: what you need to know

The day pass costs €35 per day for cars, vans, (mini)buses and coaches. From 2027, the pass will cost €20 per day for mopeds and motorbikes and €50 per day for heavy goods vehicles.
The pass can be purchased in advance of entering the LEZ OR within the five days after entering the Low Emission Zone. Example: if I drive through the LEZ on the 3rd of January with a non-compliant vehicle, I have until the 8th of January at midnight to buy a pass.
After purchasing the pass, it takes 15 minutes before you can verify in the simulator that your purchase has been taken into account.
A maximum of 24 day passes can be purchased per year and per vehicle.
On the 1st of January each year, the vehicle will have another 24 days to travel via the purchase of a pass.
The day pass is valid only for the calendar day for which it was purchased and until 6am the next day.
You only need to buy a day pass for the day(s) when you’re using vour vehicle. Example: you arrive in Brussels on 19 September and leave on 23 September, but you leave your vehicle in a car park on 20, 21 and 22 September. You only need to buy two day passes: one for 19 September and one for 23 September.
Your licence plate number and the date of first registration of the vehicle (as well as the last registration date for foreign vehicles) are required to purchase a pass.
Drivers of foreign-registered vehicles (including The Netherlands) who would like to purchase a day pass must first register their vehicle.
Only passes purchased via this platform are valid. Passes do not come in sticker or paper form.

What is a day pass and how can I buy one?

It is only necessary to purchase a day pass for vehicles which do not meet the LEZ access criteria (which cannot therefore be used within the LEZ).

A day pass costs €35 per day. The pass can be purchased in advance of entering the LEZ OR within the five days after entering the Low Emission Zone. A maximum of 24-day passes can be purchased per (calendar) year and per vehicle. The day pass is valid only for the calendar day for which it was purchased until 6 a.m. the following day.

To purchase a day pass, you need the licence plate number and the date of first registration. Vehicles registered abroad must first be registered for the LEZ before purchasing a day pass.

Can I buy a day pass for someone else or can someone else buy a pass for me?

Yes, you can buy a day pass for another person. To do this, the following information is required: The licence plate number, the date of first registration and last registration if the vehicle is registered abroad.
