Many members will already know of this requirement, but just in case you are not aware, you must register all trailers over 750kg to drive to or through most countries in Europe, apart fromIreland, Cyprus, Malta and Spain.
This means that these trailers making international journeys will need to:
· display their own registration plate (separate from the vehicle towing them)
· have a trailer registration certificate that can be shown to a foreign authority on request
Countries where you don’t need to register your trailer
You do not need to register trailers that are only used:
· in the UK
· for journeys between the UK and Ireland
You also do not need to register trailers used in:
· Cyprus
· Malta
· Spain
However, you must register trailers to tow them through any country where the rules apply in order to reach Cyprus, Malta or Spain.
