Polish vehicle registration and regulation issues

Overview

Discussions regarding Polish vehicle registration laws have focused on both legislative reform and compliance with existing regulations.

Member of Parliament Paulina Matysiak has called for reforms to Article 73aa of the Road Traffic Law. She argues that the current requirement to register a vehicle within 30 days of purchase creates an “artificial burden” for owners of vintage or unique vehicles intended for long-term restoration. Matysiak contends that the law forces owners to initiate registration for vehicles that are not yet roadworthy, leading to bureaucratic complications.

Separately, existing regulations dictate the procedures for drivers who lose license plates due to accidents or weather. Owners must apply for replacements through a district starosty or city office within 30 days. While owners may apply for temporary permission and legalized temporary plates to allow for legal travel, makeshift solutions such as writing numbers on paper are not legally recognized.
