TECHNICAL CERTIFICATE

FOREIGN MOTOR VEHICLES REQUIRE A SCHEDA TECNICA AS AUTHORISATION FOR HEAVY HAULAGE, OVERSIZED TRANSPORTS AND SPECIAL TRANSPORTS IN ITALY

The METRANS authorisation service requests and manages the due date of the "scheda tecnica".

This important document must be attached to every application for a special permit for heavy goods transport, oversized transport and special transport in Italy.

Vehicles with non-Italian license plates must present a so-called "scheda tecnica", a technical data sheet, in order to be able to apply for the necessary permit for the transport of heavy loads, large loads and special transports in Italy.

The technical certificate, which must be issued by the vehicle manufacturer, is usually relatively straightforward to obtain, but it is nevertheless advisable to enquire with the manufacturers concerned (MAN, Mercedes, DAF, Iveco, Goldhofer, Schwarzmüller etc.) in good time and to allow sufficient time.


Technical certificates must be signed in original by the authorised signatories of the vehicle manufacturer. If the signature has not yet been registered with the Italian Ministry of Transport (most vehicle manufacturers who sell their vehicles in Italy have already done this), the signature must be notarised.

The following must be
enclosed with the application:

  • THE TECHNICAL CERTIFICATE OF THE MANUFACTURER OF THE MOTOR VEHICLES
  • A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE VEHICLE LICENCE
  • OTHER DOCUMENTS SUCH AS POWERS OF ATTORNEY ETC.
