After the theft of the documentation of a truck that passed the periodic technical inspection favorably a month ago, is a new technical inspection required to process the duplicate of the vehicle registration certificate?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The holder of a vehicle whose vehicle registration certificate has been stolen, damaged or lost may apply for a duplicate (General Vehicle Regulations, Article 30(1)), and the regulation does not make that procedure conditional on passing the technical inspection again. Moreover, the truck in the question passed the roadworthiness test (ITV) a month ago, so it is up to date with its inspections. Saying that the inspection must be repeated is a mistake: losing the documentation does not cancel the ITV already passed. Nor is there an exception for vehicles of more than 50 tonnes of maximum authorized mass (MAM).
