Vehicle Licence Arrears Regularisation Scheme
The information included in this page is meant to provide information about this incentive scheme, without prejudice to any provision in the respective scheme as published on the government gazzette.
The Incentive Scheme
This scheme applies to vehicle owners who have scrapped, garaged, exported, or transferred vehicles without officially notifying Transport Malta. It provides an opportunity for owners of vehicles with licence arrears to regularise their position by settling any outstanding payments.
Applying for this Incentive
To apply for this regularisation scheme, owners must submit application form VEH 44 and return the vehicle’s registration plates and the registration certificate (logbook) to Transport Malta to complete the scrapping or garaging process officially. Owners who are missing any of these must fill in and sign Declaration Form VEH 39 or have such declaration included in the Notarised Affidavit.
Other Situations Considered in the Scheme
The scheme also covers cases such as:
- Vehicles physically scrapped by deceased owners whose heirs have renounced the inheritance and therefore cannot scrap them officially with Transport Malta.
- Individuals who physically scrapped their vehicle and are currently residing in care homes, hospitals, or similar institutions and cannot scrap them officially with Transport Malta;
- Vehicles registered on companies or other business undertakings that have been liquidated or are no longer registered with the Malta Business Registry and that therefore cannot be officially scrapped or transferred.
Individuals who are involved in such cases may contact Transport Malta by email on arrears.tm@transport.gov.mt or by phone on 25554687 so that they can be guided on how to make use of this scheme.
