Benvenuto in Italia!
***To skip long wait times, we highly recommend scheduling a guaranteed time slot rather than chancing a walk-in, as our MVRO team are working hard to navigate the seasonal personnel rotations and PCS rush.***
Just arrived at the Vicenza Military Community? The vehicle registration process is straightforward and can be completed online before reporting to the Motor Vehicle Registration Office.

What if my vehicle doesn’t pass the safety inspection?
You can obtain a temporary 30-day registration, this is to allow time to fix the problem. If the vehicle still cannot pass the safety inspection after 30 days, you can request another extension but must provide proof that you are actively working to fix the vehicle (documentation for auto shop work, parts on order, etc.)
I am a spouse, not the sponsor. Can I renew our vehicle registration?
Yes, with a Special Power of Attorney from your sponsor.
What do I do if I lost my registration?
Report the lost registration to the SETAF Carabinieri at the PMO at building 4B on Caserma Ederle. They will issue you a report and you must bring this to the MVRO to obtain a new registration.
