Vehicles registered in Belgium do not have to register.
The registration is processed automatically, there is no application processing period. You will automatically receive an e-mail confirming your registration.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Vehicle registration is free and valid for 5 years, provided that the vehicle information does not change.
Users must register before entering OR the day after entering the Low Emission Zone. Since the 1st of January 2020, it has been possible to register a vehicle registered abroad (before midnight) on the day after using the LEZ. Example: if I drive in the LEZ on the 3rd of January with a foreign-registered vehicle, I have until midnight on the 4th 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 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.
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.

These cookies are specific to the content management platform (WordPress, Drupal, Liferay, Craft CMS): a kind of software that can be described as the ‘engine’ of a website.

Optional Cookies
Analytical, performance and audience measurement cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website and, in particular, the frequency with which the website is visited and the users' behaviour while on it. More specifically, these cookies enable us to compile statistics, for example, by counting the visits and determining the origin of the visitors so we can measure and improve the performance of our website and our services. These cookies help determine which pages are the most and the least popular and to see how visitors surf the website and use the services. These cookies also monitor performance by signaling whether error messages are generated, how often this happens and in response to which actions. The cookies do not collect information that can be used to identify visitors. Since the data collected by these cookies has already been aggregated, information remains anonymous. These cookies are, therefore, only intended to improve the functioning of the website. The data collected by the cookies is aggregated. Consequently, if you disable them, we will not know when you visited our website or used the services and will not be able to monitor performance.
Targeting cookies
These cookies collect data relating to your browsing habits on the internet and your use of our services to provide you with advertising that is customised to your specific interests. They can also allow you to limit the number of times that you see an advertising message and help us evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Usually, they are installed by advertising networks with the permission of the website operator. These cookies remember visits to a website and share that information with other companies (e.g. advertising companies). These targeted cookies are often linked to the functionalities of the website provided by the partner company. They make it possible to:
prevent you from being repeatedly confronted with the same advertising messages;
measure the effectiveness of our various communication actions or an advertising campaign;
personalise the advertising on our websites and other communication platforms.
The data is collected and shared with third parties to target certain types of audiences and propose optimising solutions to our administrations, publishers and possibly advertisers. No personal data is collected and an individual cannot be identified through the data that is collected. Targeted cookies are based on the unique identification number of your browser and digital device on the internet (IP address). If you block these cookies you will continue to see advertisements.

Cookies from third-party websites
Cookies issued by third parties may be installed within (third party) applications built into our website or services, within advertising content (graphics, animations, videos, etc.) distributed via the advertising spaces built into our website. This is the case for the "Share" and "Like" buttons, from social networks such as "Facebook", "Twitter", "LinkedIn", "Viadeo", etc. A social network that provides such an application button is likely to identify you, even if you did not use this button when you visited our website. Indeed, this type of button may allow a social network to track your browser activity on our website, simply because your social network account was active on your device (open session) while browsing. The issue and use of cookies by third parties is subject to those third parties’ privacy policies. We therefore have no control over social networks collecting information about your activity on their websites or services associated with the personal data they hold. Please consult these social networks’ privacy policies to learn about the purpose, including advertising, of the browser information they may collect through these application buttons. These protection policies must allow you to make choices on these social networks by setting up your user accounts for each network. We remind you that you can, at any time, simply and free of charge, refuse the registration of cookies on your device so that neither we nor our partners collect information using cookies.
