Vanuatu Car Registration

Offshore Packages  

OFFSHORE CAR REGISTRATION

The concept of Offshore Car Registration is becoming increasingly popular among residents of European Countries where it is legal to drive a vehicle which is registered in another Country. There are many reasons why people may choose to register their car offshore, often it is due to the vehicle that they are importing, being unable to comply with local vehicle requirements for registration, despite the vehicle being in safe working condition and with minimal engine emissions. Regulations in some countries require expensive compliance testing on all imported vehicles, and even more costly in other jurisdictions are the VAT or Import Duties due on imported vehicles upon first registration. Whatever the situation, there may be a easy way to avoid all the unnecessary time and money wasted, just to drive the vehicle of your choice!

Far away from the over regulated Continent of Europe, is a tiny island nation in the South Pacific Ocean know as Vanuatu. This Independent Republic was called New Hebrides when it was an Anglo-French Condominium, then changed its name when independence was achieved in 1980. Just North of New Zealand and East of Queensland, Australia, Vanuatu is a tropical nation with a predominantly Melanesian population of around 200,000, which is spread through the volcanic chain of islands fringed by coral reefs and rich blue ocean. So how is this idyllic, untouched paradise going to help you? Already an established provider of Tax-free International Companies, Vanuatu also offers European clients the ability to register their vehicle under the local Vehicle Registry. Offshore Packages

Vanuatu Vehicle Registration is possible for most types of passenger vehicles, including small trucks and motorcycles. Requirements are very simple and vehicles may be registered under your personal name, or the name of a Company. The process is taken care of by our Vanuatu office and the following list is all that we require from you:

Invoice for the Vehicle (copy accepted)
Registration Certificate, if previously Registered (copy accepted)
Proof of 3rd Party Insurance (copy accepted)
Road Worthiness Certificate or mechanics letter (copy accepted)
Colour Photo of Vehicle
Colour Photo of Owner
Copy of Owner’s Drivers License
Copy of Owner’s Passport
Application form filled. (click here)

Vanuatu vehicles are registered from year to year, so it is best to register the Vehicle in first months, as the window label that is provided will only cover the year in which the vehicle is registered. Annual fees are similar to what you would expect to pay for a locally registered vehicle, but there are no Road User Charges or any other Taxes payable.

Although Vanuatu registration plates are restricted to numbers only, you can request personalized plates for a small additional cost. As the Vanuatu registry is very small with only thousands of vehicles having been registered here, you may obtain a registration plate that would be popular or extremely expensive in your country. You may also have special wording placed above the number to meet your specific needs or to introduce your special number.

The cost to register a car is US$820 includes registration, book and papers, two number plates and is valid for as long as you own the vehicle!!
Annual fee is
$195 thereafter includes renewal fee, new window sticker and postage. Courier delivery is $100 if you need.
Vanuatu is willing to register a car that is currently registered elsewhere so deregistration should not be a problem for you.

The size of the Vanuatu plates are as follows - front plate is 400mm x 150mm and back plate is 350mm x 180mm.

PERSONALIZED PLATES available for only US$1200
Personalized plates in Vanuatu must contain two letters followed by four numbers.
Only black on white is available for color.

Additional Information

  • There are minimal taxes linked with registration of Vehicle.  
  • The cost of registration neither depends on the price or age of the vehicle, nor on the capacity of its engine.  
  • It is not required to present the vehicle at the place of registration - a photo and documents certified by Notary Public are sufficient.
  • Owner of the vehicle may be a foreigner.
  • Number plates are similar to French ones, as Vanuatu is a former colony of France.
  • The procedure of registration can be accomplished in a matter of weeks.

All Documents must be submitted in English. If issued in other languages, a translation is required. The translation must be certified by a Legal Representative.

We now have some additional information that may be of great assistance in regard to
3rd Party
Insurance:
The key is to insure with the chassis number, rather than the number plate.
When you find an insurance company, please share the information with us.

They should be able to ensure on the chassis number for all European countries and even for the Balkans. Don't forget that in most countries you have to leave the country at least every three months to keep an extra-EU plate.

Road Worthiness Certificate
The certificate can be simply a letter from a mechanic to say that the car is fit for use on public roads. As long as the letter has the stamp and signature of the mechanic.


For your convenience, we have included a Cost Calculator in the order form:

If you want to get a Vanuatu company,
and register the car in the company name, than please fill THIS form.

(in this case, you will get a document notarized in Vanuatu, where it say that you are allowed to drive the car anywhere in the world. It will look like you are an employee of the Vanuatu company, and driving the company car.)

TESTIMONIAL.
We do not usually do this, but the information from this customer is really helpful:

"I am an Italian national, living in Sierra Leone, where I work in the human  rights / rule of law field.

I have recently purchased a car in Belgium, to use when I am in Europe for business and leisure.  I found it very hard to register the car in Europe: the Belgian would not register it because I am not a Belgian resident; the Italians would not register it because the car is (currently unregistered) in Belgium.  To register the car in Sierra Leone I would need to ship it there, which would defeat the object of purchasing a car in Europe for use while I am there.

Mr Taylor of the OffshoreSimple has been very helpful in registering the vehicle in Vanuatu. I will be using the car throughout the EU,  primarily for leisure.  I have contacted the Belgian authorities  before I gave OffshoreSimple  the go-ahead to register the car and I am  informed that I can drive in each EU member state for a maximum of three months at a time before  crossing a border.  This suits me well because I would in any event  cross a border between EU countries more often than that, and in any  case, within Schengen, there are no road boarders on motorways, so the  entry and exit of vehicles is not recorded.

Insurance is provided by a Belgian company. Insurance was required as  a precondition of registration in Vanuatu, therefore I insured the car  on its chassis number, before I received number plates.  I expect to be  renewing the insurance every year on the same basis.

The validity of registration has not yet been challenged by any  authorities. In fact I feel quite confident that its validity will not  be challenged since I have already made enquiries and received that  response.

OffshoreSimple had been both efficient and prompt: once I had provided all the documents they had required the registration process seemed to be  pretty straightforward. They were also very helpful in assisting me in identifying what specific documents were required and they have arranged for notarised translation of the Belgian documents which was required by  the Vanuatu authorities.

I would not hesitate to recommend their services if you can provide  all the documents that are required. In fact, I am planning to register a  second vehicle with them.  My second vehicle has Kosovar number  plates, as it was purchased by me during a period of time that I  worked in Kosovo: the plates and registration documents that I have for my second vehicle are  issued by the United Nations interim administration in Kosovo and I  believe that it will be easier to circulate and cross borders with the  Vanuatu registration.

In the interest of transparency, I should disclose the fact that OffshoreSimple has offered to cover the cost of the shipment by express courier  of the new registration documents and number plates in return for my sharing of  my experience with them to you.  While I have accepted this offer, it  does not  influence what I am telling you: I would not be interested in  registering a  second vehicle through them if I was not satisfied with the service  they provide."
