Who Handles Homologation in Kosovo

Local process name

Responsible authority

Department of Transport, Ministry of Infrastructure

Kosovo requires a Homologation Certificate — assessed in part through the licensed emissions-testing body Eurolab — alongside a technical control certificate, before the Department of Transport registers the vehicle.

Kosovo currently only permits importing vehicles up to 10 years old, meeting at least Euro 4 emissions standards — confirm current limits with us.

Homologation in Kosovo — FAQ

Do I need homologation to register an imported car in Kosovo?

Yes, unless your vehicle already has valid EU type approval and a Certificate of Conformity. Otherwise, Kosovo requires individual vehicle approval before registration.

How long does homologation take in Kosovo?

It depends on your specific vehicle and whether EU type approval already applies. Contact us for a realistic timeline once we know your vehicle.

Can DriveSino homologate a car that isn't from China?

Yes. We manage individual vehicle approval in Kosovo for imports from South Korea, the United States, Japan, and other non-EU markets, not just China.

Is homologation the same as customs clearance in Kosovo?

No — they're separate. Customs clearance covers import duties and VAT; homologation certifies the vehicle meets Kosovo's technical and safety standards for registration. Both are needed for an imported vehicle.
