Slovakia Ministry of Interior warns of vehicle registration errors

The Slovak Ministry of Interior has issued a warning regarding potential errors in the removal of vehicles from the national registry. This occurs during a large-scale effort to clean the database of vehicles that have been without mandatory contractual insurance (PZP) for over 24 months.

Due to the massive volume of data being processed, the Ministry stated it cannot rule out individual cases where vehicles with valid insurance are mistakenly removed from the registry. If a driver discovers their vehicle has been incorrectly deregistered, they are advised to contact their insurance company immediately to verify the data and obtain a certificate for correction by the traffic inspectorate.

The issue stems from the data transfer process, where insurance companies send information to the Slovak Insurance Bureau (SKP), which then transfers it to the Ministry of Interior's system. Discrepancies in registration numbers or VINs can lead to errors. Drivers can verify their insurance status through the Slovak Insurance Bureau website using their vehicle registration or VIN.
