Update on December 15, 2022 with the latest regulatory news, especially after the passage of law no. 120/2020 concerning the cancellation of a vehicle for final export abroad.
AUTOMOBILE RADIATION FOR EXPORT ABROAD: CHANGES TO THE ROAD CODE
As you remember, the innovation was introduced after the amendment of paragraph 1 of article 103 of the Highway Code, which, in the latest edition, in force from 09/15/2020 , provides for the following: “ For the indefinite export of motor vehicles abroad, vehicles and trailers registered in Italy, the owner or authorized person requests the revocation from the national vehicle archive and from the PRA to the competent authority, returning the relevant license plates and registration certificate.

And that no provision for revision is pending. In order to reach the border crossings for export, the canceled vehicle can only drive on the road with a transit document and a temporary license plate .”
2023 PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTING VEHICLE RADIATION FOR EXPORT
Therefore, compared to previous legislation, a request for cancellation must now be made before the transfer abroad, and not after . Moreover, both the owner of the vehicle and another authorized person (for example, an heir or an owner not yet registered with the PRA) can transfer it. In the latter case, a title holder who is not a PRA holder must also attach the original title to the purchase . (purchase and sale act, regulation of state administration, auction sale report, acceptance of inheritance), etc.), drawn up in accordance with the forms established by law. In addition, if the request is not signed in the presence of a responsible officer, a photocopy of the identity document of the signatory must be attached.
A request to cancel the final export must be submitted to the Motorist Telematics Assistance Service (STA) after booking, with the following documentation attached:
— Unified Instance ( download here );
– Original purchase document (only if, as noted above, the request is for non-ADF title);
– a certificate of ownership in paper form, a vehicle registration certificate or a single negotiable document;
– License plates (front and rear);
– Identity document or recognition and the Tax Code.
And pay the following expenses:
– ACI fees : EUR 13.50;
– Stamp duty : 32.00 euros for a single application + 1.78 euros for postage:
– DT rights : €10.20 + €1.78 postage (both for export to and outside the EU).
After checking the completeness of the documentation, the applicant is issued a Single Document, invalid for circulation, with a note on the termination of circulation of the vehicle for export to an EU or non-EU country. If the owner or holder of the right to the vehicle needs to reach a foreign destination country by road, he can apply to the provincial departments of motor vehicles for the issuance of a travel document and temporary plates. Or by contacting a car service.
When the vehicle is finally exported abroad , the vehicle ceases to be registered in the State Automobile Registry (PRA) and, as a result, the obligation to pay car tax is interrupted.
REQUEST FOR EXPOSURE AFTER MOVING ABROAD: WHAT HAPPENS
The new law requires you to submit a cancellation request before traveling abroad. However, the law does not completely rule out the possibility that later cancellations from the National Automobile Archives and from the PRA may also take place. Without prejudice to the possible application of a fine from 173 to 694 euros . And provided that during this time the vehicle has already been re-registered abroad and, therefore, a copy of the registration certificate of the country of destination is made.
Registration marks and registration certificate (or a single document) must also be attached to the application for cancellation after transfer, unless they were detained by the foreign re-registration authorities. In the latter case, and only if the license plates and documents belong to a non-EU country, the applicant for cancellation must attach a replacement declaration of notoriety confirming this circumstance.
Important: for vehicles still equipped with a paper title deed, exported to both an EU country and a non-EU country, if the foreign authority withheld this document at registration, it will be necessary to attach the issued certificate of collection by the Authorized Foreign . Or a replacement declaration certifying the waiver. If, on the other hand, a paper title deed is not available because it has been lost, stolen or destroyed, an appropriate declaration or replacement declaration must be attached.
RADIATION OF CARS FOR EXPORT ABROAD: IS AN INSPECTION NEEDED?
Following the law no. No. 120/2020, which partially corrected the new wording of the provision on deregistration of vehicles for export abroad, now it is not required to submit the exported vehicle for technical inspection, with a positive result, no earlier than 6 months from the date of the cancellation request date . The current regulation essentially establishes as a requirement for cancellation that the vehicle has a valid MOT on the date of the cancellation request . Or that it is exposed in the year in which the obligation to inspect, visit and test to confirm its suitability for circulation arises . And that no provision for revision is pending.
EMISSION RESTRICTIONS FOR VEHICLES FOR EXPORT ABROAD
If a measure of administrative detention is registered with the DTC for a vehicle to be exported, it will first be necessary to cancel the detention by paying the amounts due to the tax concessionaire. And only after that to request the termination of the circulation for export. On the other hand, in the event that the mortgage loan has not yet expired , the vehicle subject to export is registered with an arrest or confiscation, an act confirming the consent to cancellation by the creditor or the competent authority must be attached. In particular, for the export of vehicles with a registered and not yet overdue mortgage, it is necessary to attach an act of consent of the creditor.
