750,000 Vehicle License Renewals Pending, 11,000 Recall Notices Outstanding

Approximately 750,000 vehicle license renewals are expected for 2026 in Cyprus. Simultaneously, around 11,000 vehicle recall notices remain outstanding for airbag replacement, down from the initially announced 100,500. The renewal process is conducted online and no extensions are anticipated. Vehicle owners with outstanding airbag recall notices must first resolve the recall and obtain a valid roadworthiness certificate before they can renew their license. The Department of Road Transport has implemented additional security measures in the system to ensure the proper completion of the process.
