To register the vehicle, one needs to prove that they reside legally in Italy and own the car. In case the car is used, it needs to pass an inspection before it can get registered. The vehicle should comply with Italian safety and technical standards. In Italy, basically, the following rule applies: If the car is more than six months old and has more than 6,000 kilometers on the mileage counter, it is considered used. The vehicle imported in Italy must be registered within a period of six months of its arrival in the country with the local Motorizzazione Civile (Motor Vehicles) as well as the Public Vehicle Registry.

The Italian Ministry of Transport states that only the following people may register a foreign car in Italy:

• Italian nationals (even if living abroad)
• Foreign nationals with official residence in Italy (proof of the car owner's residence is required)

Tourists may bring vehicles with NON-Italian plates to Italy on a temporary basis for a maximum of six months without paying customs duties. After six months the car must be exported or registered in Italy. The PRA is operated by the Italian Automobile Club (Automobile Club d’Italia), which has Public Support Offices (Servizi Relazioni con il Pubblico) in most major towns and cities.
