The Principality is stepping into a new era of mobility administration. On 1 September 2025, the Prince’s Government launched a reform of its vehicle registration system that promises to simplify life for motorists while phasing out a familiar feature: the physical car sticker.
Under the new schedule, registration renewal is now synchronised with the calendar year. Drivers have until 31 December to update their documentation, with late penalties suspended during this transition period. The extended four-month window is designed to ease the process for Monaco’s 53,000 vehicle owners, marking a shift away from the rigid timetable of previous years.
A Digital Turn
Central to the reform is the drive toward digitalisation. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office is encouraging motorists to handle payments online through the official gouv.mc portal or the MonGuichet platform. The change is part of the Government’s broader administrative modernisation programme, streamlining procedures and adapting to today’s digital habits.
Goodbye to the Sticker
The most visible change is the disappearance of the year of issue on car stickers and registration certificates. This detail signals a bigger shift: the eventual elimination of the physical sticker altogether. While the specifics of the new system are still being finalised, the intention is clear—create a process that is modern, efficient, and in line with current practices across Europe.
Supporting the Energy Transition
Monaco’s 6,000 electric vehicles will continue to benefit from free registration stickers, maintaining incentives for the transition toward greener mobility.
This reform, while practical, also reflects the Principality’s forward-thinking approach: embracing technology, reducing administrative friction, and supporting sustainability. For motorists, it marks the end of one era—and the beginning of a more streamlined, digital future.
