Technický průkaz

technický preukaz (vehicle registration certificate)

What does “Technický průkaz” mean in Czechia?

Technický průkaz is the car's technical passport: a document that records information about the car and its owner. It is this document that is changed when the car is transferred to a new owner.

The Most Expensive Mistake

The deadline for re-registration is 10 working days. The fine for missing the deadline is up to 50,000 CZK. This is a situation where forgetfulness costs more than the car itself in

Important. 10 working days to re-register — and a fine up to 50,000 CZK if you miss the deadline. Set a reminder on the day you buy a car, not for "sometime later."
