You’ll need to re-register all vehicles annually. For your primary vehicle, there is no Italian road tax. This is the vehicle for which you will be authorized tax-free fuel. (You’ll pay annual registration and Italian road tax-100€-500€ based on engine & age- for any additional POVs). A registration is required to receive a new fuel card each year to purchase fuel for your primary vehicle. FYI, a Special Power of Attorney (SPOA) is required to register a vehicle on your Soldier’s behalf.

To register your vehicle, you must have:

  1. Submit an online application using the appropriate form from above
  2. Original Title or previous registration Doc
  3. Proof of Insurance (required by Italian Law)
  4. AFI Driver License (SETAF License)
  5. Proof of eligibility (Orders)
  6. DoD Common Access Card
  7. Registration fee (5-euro one time, plus $75 annually)
  8. Additional money for road taxes if you are registering a second vehicle (cost depends on engine size)
  9. Power of Attorney for Sponsor (If not accompanied by Sponsor)

 Vehicle Registration Process:

  1. VPC Email/HOG Email: Once you’re notified by email that your vehicle has arrived, submit the online application to MVRO.
  2. Purchase/transfer a Vehicle: Submit the online application to MVRO.
  3. Email the appropriate documents to MVRO right after you submit the application
  4. MVRO will send you the AFI/Cover Plate Information:  To get insurance, you need a license plate number. When you fill out your application, you will have to select between a Short-Square or Long plate.  Both versions contain a rectangular plate that must be mounted to the front of the vehicle.
    1. Don’t guess! Go to VPC Inspection to ask staff the correct size for your POV. MVRO will send you your AFI and Cover Plate information in an email.

NOTE: There are 2 plate sizes: square or rectangular (European size). Your U.S. POV may need square. To blend in, ask if rectangular is at all possible.

  1. Request Insurance Card: Call your insurer with your new plate number to set up insurance. USAA will email you proof of insurance. You must PRINT this email.
  2. Schedule an appointment to Pick Up Registration & Plates: Visit Registration Office with insurance paperwork and all other documents. Pay fees in cash or card. You’ll receive plates and registration. Keep registration in the vehicle at all times.
  3. VPC Inspection: After getting plates, visit the VPC Inspection to complete vehicle damage inspection.
    • The inspector must give you the inspection sheet (back side of original pre-departure inspection form you completed) to note new vehicle damages. Do not let the inspector persuade you to only note damages that they agree with. There is a specific section for YOU to note damages and a separate section for THEM to indicate what they agree to cover. Disagreements can be handled later with JAG.
    • DO NOT LEAVE VPC before completing your inspection & listing all damage! VPC inspectors might recommend you wash your car first to see damage more easily. DO NOT DO THIS.
  4. License Plate Installation: You must mount license plates on POV prior to safety inspection.
    • If no drilling is required, ask if VPC Inspection Warehouse can install plates after inspection.
    • Bring tools to the VPC to install plates yourself.
  5. Vehicle Safety Inspection: Bring registration paperwork, orders, ID, insurance, POA (if applicable) and required orange vest, warning triangle, and first aid kit.
  6. Vehicle Registration & Fuel Coupon Card: Return to the Registration Office, submit safety inspection form and get your fuel card to take to the PX.
