How to apply for tax stickers for foreign companies operating private hire vehicles with driver and luxury chauffeured vehicles

Private hire vehicles driven by foreign chauffeurs must obtain prior authorisation from the Commissioner of Police Department, before carrying passengers and their luggage in the Principality.

Once authorised, vehicle operators will be granted a unique, non-transferrable tax sticker for each vehicle, which is valid from 1 May to 31 October 2022.

This sticker, which is issued by the Commissioner of Police Department must be affixed to the inside of the vehicle, with the front visible from the outside, on the lower right corner of the windscreen and on the rear window, also with the front visible from the outside.

In order for a company to be eligible to purchase a tax sticker, it must provide proof:

• That it has no police record with the Police Department of Monaco
• Of the legal existence of the activity carried out by the applicant for at least 3 years, including, where appropriate, in a series of different legal forms (for private-hire vehicles with drivers only)

The fees for 2022 are €750 for an annual sticker, €600 for the third sticker.

The other main procedures currently in force, including ethical obligations, remain unchanged.

You will need to provide:

• An extract of the Kbis registration
• An extract of the INSEE’s SIRENE register
• Your certification as a company operating private hire vehicles
• A professional liability insurance certificate
• An extract of the applicant’s criminal record, issued by the legal authorities of their own country within the last three months
• The "carte grise" or car registration document (the vehicle must be fully owned with permission to lease)
• The invoice for the permanent red private hire vehicle sticker
• A certificate of motor vehicle liability insurance (a document certifying that the applicant has taken out a specific professional insurance policy covering passengers transported in exchange for payment and that the policy is valid)
• A list of chauffeurs employed by your company
• Valid permits for each chauffeur 
• In the case of ad hoc recruitment, a copy of the preliminary employment declaration, accompanied by the Director’s sworn affidavit that a background check on each employee’s clean criminal record has been made

On the day of your interview for the sticker, you will need to present the original documents.

If your application is approved, you will receive a confirmation email and a member of staff from the Police Department will contact you using the details you have supplied in your application to arrange an appointment.

You will be able to collect your stickers from the Police Department by bringing along the original documents.

Payment should be made when collecting the stickers.

Stickers are unique and non-transferable. They should be affixed to the lower right corner of the windscreen in each vehicle and on the rear window, also with the front visible from the outside.

A taxi ride declaration must then be made at least 2 hours in advance each time passengers are picked up within Monaco.
