Last updated: 26/08/2024

All registrations are valid for a limited period and are renewable.

Understanding the process

All registrations are valid for a limited period, until 31 December of the current year, with the exception of new registrations made between 1 October and 31 December, which are valid until 31 December of the following year. The date of validity is stated on the stamp affixed to the registration certificate and on the sticker affixed to the registration plate.

Registrations are renewable annually, extending validity for a further year.

The car sticker can be renewed:

By individuals domiciled in Monaco who can provide a national identity card (failing this, a national passport with proof of address, gas or electricity bill from the SMEG, rental agreement dated of less than 3 months), either a residence permit
By individuals who own property in their own name or has a lease for rented accommodation in the Principality, and a parking
For professional use or when assigning a vehicle for professional use by staff, individuals or legal entities who are authorised to undertake and are currently undertaking a professional, commercial or industrial activity, with the exclusion of non-trading real estate companies and non-trading companies whose advisory and management activities are primarily conducted for the benefit of their founders and partners and whose founders and partners do not reside in Monaco
Legal entities offering finance for a leasing contract with a purchase option or a long-term leasing contract whose principal place of business is in Monaco or whose principal place of business is in France with a secondary place of business in Monaco
Legal entities providing a vehicle under a long-term leasing contract for a period of less than one year

All registered vehicle owners are issued an invoice at the beginning of October to renew their stickers for the following year.

This invoice can be paid as soon as it is received and must be settled before 31 December of the current year.

Invoices and stickers are sent by post only; postal tracking is not available for temporary or permanent redirection.

Stickers are free for all electric vehicles; however, an invoice for €0 will nonetheless be sent to owners to check that they still own the relevant vehicles and that they wish to renew the stickers, which they should confirm via post by returning the appropriate slip or via email to the following address circulation@gouv.mc,

If no payment is registered by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office by 31 December, a late payment penalty per vehicle, the amount of which is set by Ministerial Decree, is payable from 1 January of the following year (this penalty does not apply to electric vehicles). In this case, a letter giving formal notice of payment for the renewal of registration, within one month before the date of the end of the sticker renewal period, will be sent by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt.

If payment is not made (or, in the case of electric vehicles, confirmation that the sticker should be renewed is not received) the vehicle will be removed from the registration file and will no longer be authorised to circulate on the public highway.

Please note: a sticker is required if the vehicle is still registered on 1 January.

Reimbursement of fees paid may be requested when a vehicle is removed from the number plate database (sale, transfer, destruction, withdrawal) before 31 December of the current year or where payment to renew the sticker has already been made in accordance with the procedures set out in How to request reimbursement
