Brand New Vehicles:
Your vehicle will be classified as brand new at registration if:
** it was imported into Singapore directly from the vehicle manufacturer; or
** it was registered as a new vehicle in a foreign country which adopts a higher or equivalent safety and emission standard as Singapore such as the European Community (EC) countries. The vehicle must be de-registered within 14 days of its registration in the foreign country for export to Singapore, and must arrive in Singapore within 3 months of its de-registration overseas.
Imported Used Vehicles:
Only imported used vehicles that are less than 3 years of age can be registered in Singapore.
A surcharge of S$10,000 is payable on top of the Quota Premium (for a Certificate of Entitlement) and registration taxes and fees at registration.
The age of a used vehicle is determined by the date the vehicle was first registered in a foreign country.
If the first registration date of the vehicle cannot be ascertained, then the age of the vehicle will be determined by the first day of its manufacture.
Why do I need to register my vehicle?:
Registration recognises you as the owner of your vehicle.
As a registered owner of the vehicle, you are responsible for the payment of vehicle-related fees, taxes & licensing, and ensure roadworthiness of your vehicle.
It is required by law that all motor vehicles in Singapore must be registered with LTA.
Who can register my vehicle?:
