Renewing a vehicle registration (carte grise) in Comoros typically involves submitting an application and required documents to the responsible administrative body, ensuring the vehicle has passed its technical inspection, and paying any applicable fees. The process confirms the vehicle's legal status for road use.

Your timing

It is advisable for vehicle owners to initiate the renewal process several weeks before their current registration expires. This allows ample time to gather all necessary documents, schedule any required technical inspections, and account for administrative processing times, which can vary.

Start 30 days ahead

To allow for potential technical inspection scheduling, document gathering, and administrative processing.

The process

  1. 1Confirm the specific office responsible for vehicle registration renewals in your locality (e.g., regional DGTT office or a delegated authority).
  2. 2Ensure the vehicle has a valid technical inspection certificate, if required for renewal. If not, schedule and complete a technical inspection.
  3. 3Gather all necessary documents, including the expiring vehicle registration certificate, proof of ownership, personal identification, and proof of valid insurance.
  4. 4Complete any required application forms, which may be available at the administrative office.
  5. 5Submit the application and all supporting documents to the designated authority.
  6. 6Pay the applicable renewal fees at the counter or through specified payment methods.
  7. 7Collect the new vehicle registration certificate once processing is complete.

What to bring

Who handles it
