State Enterprise Regitra (hereinafter referred to as Regitra) reminds of the procedure of extending the suspension period with regard to the authorisation to participate in road traffic (hereinafter referred to as the authorisation).

Personal identity must be established

An application for extending the authorisation suspension period is accepted only when the applicant’s personal identity is established. This requirement has been provided in the Rules on Registration of Vehicles and Their Trailers approved by Order No. 1V-445 of the Minister of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania as of 30 June 2014.
When filing an application with the branch office of Regitra, the applicant must present his personal identity document or a document supporting representation. When filing an application on the e-services portal, the applicant is identified through his login information.
Regitra reminds that applications sent by regular post or e-mail with no possibility to establish personal identity will not be examined. In these cases the applicant will be informed that in order to extend the authorisation suspension period he will have to log in on Regitra e-services portal or come to the branch office of vehicle registration.

Obtained data are used

The procedure of suspending the authorisation to participate in road traffic applies as of this July, upon entry into force of the provisions of the Law on Road Traffic Safety (hereinafter referred to as the Law) adopted by the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania.
When adopting a decision regarding authorisation suspension or subsequent vehicle removal from the register, Regitra uses the data obtained from the Centralised Vehicle Roadworthiness Test Database, which is maintained by the Association of the Lithuanian Technical Inspection Companies, and from the Database of Compulsory Motor Third Party Liability Insurance, which is maintained by the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of the Republic of Lithuania.
The Law lays down that the managers of these databases shall provide all necessary data on vehicles to the Register of Road Vehicles of the Republic of Lithuania managed by Regitra.
Having obtained no data that the mandatory technical inspection of a vehicle has been carried out and/or a vehicle has been covered with compulsory motor third party liability insurance, the vehicle authorisation to participate in road traffic is suspended and subsequently the vehicle is removed from the register at the prescribed procedure, unless the applicant applies for the extension of suspension within a 90 days’ period established in the Law.
