Local process name
Immatricolazione
Responsible authority
Ufficio Registro Automezzi e Trasporti (URAT)
San Marino's Vehicle and Transport Registry (URAT) handles vehicle registration for this small enclave state, whose registrations and vehicle movements are closely tied to Italian administrative processes given its location within Italy.
San Marino is not an EU member, so imports are treated similarly to non-EU imports even from neighboring Italy — confirm the current process with us.
Why Homologate Your San Marino Import With DriveSino
Homologation in San Marino — FAQ
Do I need homologation to register an imported car in San Marino?
Yes, unless your vehicle already has valid EU type approval and a Certificate of Conformity. Otherwise, San Marino requires individual vehicle approval before registration.
How long does homologation take in San Marino?
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 San Marino 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 San Marino?
No — they're separate. Customs clearance covers import duties and VAT; homologation certifies the vehicle meets San Marino's technical and safety standards for registration. Both are needed for an imported vehicle.
