When importing or registering a vehicle in Slovakia, choosing the right transit license plates is crucial.

Both Słowackie tablice tranzytowe (C) oraz Węgierskie tablice tranzytowe are legal and convenient—but they serve different purposes.

Here’s how to decide which one fits your needs best.

1️⃣ Hungarian Transit License Plates – Ideal for EU Imports

Best use: Bringing a car from Germany, Austria, Italy, or any other EU country to Slovakia.

Advantages

  • Valid for cross-border transport within the EU
  • Ready within 24 hours
  • Includes compulsory liability insurance (PZP) and a motorway vignette
  • Lets you postpone permanent Slovak registration until you’re ready

Perfect scenario: You buy a car in Germany and want to drive it directly to Slovakia without waiting for Slovak paperwork.

2️⃣ Slovak Transit License Plates (C) – For Local Driving and Registration

Best use: Driving within Slovakia before permanent registration.

Advantages

  • Legal for STK (technical inspection), EK (emissions test), and KO (originality check)
  • Necessary for registering the car with Slovak authorities
  • Includes insurance, motorway vignette, and all required documents

Perfect scenario: Your imported car is already in Slovakia and needs inspections or official registration.

3️⃣ Cost and Practical Considerations

  • Hungarian plates usually start around 40 €/day and are meant for shorter cross-border use.
  • Slovak plates (C) start around 20 €/day and are designed for local procedures that can take several days.

The best value depends on your route and how long each stage will take.

4️⃣ How to Combine Them

Many car importers use both:

  1. Hungarian plates to transport the car from an EU country to Slovakia.
  2. Slovak plates (C) to drive inside Slovakia for inspections and final registration.

This combination ensures full legal compliance from start to finish.
