Where do I need to register?

In Germany all vehicles wishing to enter the LEZs need to buy a sticker to put in the windscreen, which is then valid for all LEZs in Germany. Stickers [plakette in German] can be bought from garages, testing stations [TÜV], the LEZ city administration, or online, for example from TÜV-Nord in several languages.

In the Netherlands, Dutch vehicles are already registered through the national database, and foreign vehicles will need to register from mid-2010.

In London, British vehicles (not Northern Irish, Channel Island etc) are registered through the national database. Retrofitted, early complying and foreign vehicles need to register separately.

In Norway once LEZs are in operation you will need to ensure that you pay the tolls if your vehicle is less than Euro 4. This can be done with the same transponder [device] as is used for motorways or by registering with the authorities.

In Sweden you need to register with each city separately, and get a sticker for the windscreen.

In Denmark, danish vehicles require a sticker, see our Danish pages.

In Bolzano-Bozen Autonomous Province, Italy you need to have a sticker, see our Bolzano page.
