Got a new scooter? This is what you need to do
Obtain your vehicle registration document and license plate. To receive this, you need to register your scooter with the Road Traffic Office in your canton. Before registering the vehicle at the Road Traffic Office, you need the following:
- The vehicle registration certificate (form 13.20 A), which we will send to you.
- Obtain a liability insurance, which is mandatory. Choose an insurance that suits your needs. The insurance company will send the proof of insurance to the Road Traffic Office, confirming that you have the required insurance.
- A copy of your ID / residence permit if this is your first number plate.
