I have purchased abroad

  • STEP 1. Concluding a transaction

    Conclude purchase-sale contract.

  • STEP 2. Obtaining SDK before importing the vehicle to Lithuania

    Since the vehicle is registered abroad, it will not have the owner declaration code (SDK). Therefore, before importing the vehicle to the territory of Lithuania you need to apply to "Regitra", declare the purchase of the vehicle and obtain the SDK for the first time.

     

    This can be done in two ways:

     

    • Online

    In submitting the declaration of acquisition, the purchase-sale contract has to be attached, the SDK and other necessary information has to be specified.

    Submit

     

    • At the branch

    This can be done, for example, through an authorized person.

    Register for a visit to the branch and you will be serviced at the time convenient for you:

    Provide at "Regitra" branch:

     

    • your Personal Identity Card or passport;
    • purchase-sale contract, contract of gift or other document confirming the purchase (copies can be provided).
  • STEP 3. Roadworthiness test, insurance and conformity assessment

    If you have purchased a vehicle registered in a country which is outside the European Union (for example, in Switzerland, Norway, USA), you have to pay the compulsory customs duties.

    If you have purchased a vehicle registered in a third country, i.e. in non-EU country or not in Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland, arrange for conformity assessment. The assessment document will need to be submitted at "Regitra". Click HERE for the list of expertise companies that specialise in conformity assessment.
