How to apply for registration of a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, known as a "Motorcycle on request"

All holders of an administrative authorisation may register a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, known as a "motorcycle on request".

The administrative authorisation may stipulate, for each holder, the number of vehicles that may be put into service.

Such administrative authorisation can only be issued to individuals who hold a specialist qualification in the field of tourism, passenger transport or trade, or, failing this, can prove that they have at least three years’ experience as a director or manager in a company operating in the tourism, passenger transport or trade sectors.

Professional driving of a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, known as a "motorcycle on request", is subject to the issuance of a professional licence corresponding to the category of the vehicle.

The authorisation and the professional licence (see the procedure: How to request a professional licence ) ) are issued by decision of the Minister of State.

Two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles known as "motorcycles on request" must have a self-adhesive sticker affixed. This sticker is issued by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office.

It states the registration number.

It must be affixed to the vehicle in such a way as to be visible and to enable it to be checked by the competent authorities.

Two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles known as "motorcycles on request" must be proven to be less than four years old from the date of first entry into service.

An annual maintenance certificate must be given to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office before the vehicle is put into service and then annually thereafter.

All registrations are recorded in a register of registrations, leading to the issue of a certificate and a registration plate (rear) with sticker. Although a front plate can still be issued on request.

The registration plates must be permanently fixed to the vehicle in the spaces provided for this purpose.

The certificate and registration plate indicate the number assigned to the vehicle as well as the validity period of the registration, which will be until 31 December of the current year, or 31 December of the following year if the vehicle is registered between 1 October and 31 December.

Registration can be renewed for another year during the annual renewal period. See the following factsheet for details: How to renew your annual car sticker

Should you fail to renew registration or validate the maintenance certificate by the required deadlines, the vehicle will be deregistered in accordance with the conditions established by ministerial decree. The owner of the vehicle must then return the certificate and registration plate, and pay the relevant administrative fees as stipulated by ministerial decree. The vehicle is no longer authorised to drive on the roads.
