Private vehicles
Private cars and motorcycles in Corfu: a sale transfer, an inheritance, plates, a registration certificate, taking a vehicle off the road. For the owner on the island, and for an owner who lives away and the vehicle is still in their name.
Transfer, deregistration, plates, the circulation licence and a laid-up declaration stay in one file. The desk holds it and tells you, in good time, what is still open. This procedure is managed end-to-end by our Private KEP desk in Mandouki. We audit your documentation, execute the administrative filing, and deliver the final verified documents.
