TRAILER CARAVANS · O1 · O2
Caravan Registration
A trailer caravan needs its own registration certificate and plates, like any trailer. The route depends on its documents: one for a new caravan with type approval, another for a used one from abroad, another for a caravan with no papers.
Who it is for
- Private owners who bought a caravan in Greece or abroad.
- Owners of an old caravan without a registration certificate.
- Caravan dealers and importers.
What we look at first
If the caravan has EU type approval and a certificate of conformity, registration is fairly simple. If not, or if documents are missing, registration is possible under conditions and involves an inspection. So we start from the documents you have and tell you from the outset which route applies.
The role of the qualified Mechanical Engineer
For a motor caravan produced by conversion, the law requires the supporting documents to be prepared and signed by a qualified (university-degree) mechanical engineer (Ministerial Decision 80255/4693/2019, Article 7). For a trailer caravan without a certificate of conformity or a manufacturer’s statement, the technical data are certified by a mechanical engineer’s solemn declaration (Ministerial Decision 2805/2021). In both cases, registration rests on the engineer’s signature and responsibility.
Until the registration certificate and plates are issued, the caravan may not be driven on the road.

Imported caravan or motorhome not in the Greek vehicle database (TAO): what now?
Usually the type approval has not been notified in Greece and the type is missing from the Vehicle Technical Archive (TAO), or the vehicle has no approval that covers registration. Depending on its documents, the route is TAO registration of the existing EU type approval or individual approval; which one applies is decided on the full file. Moudiotis Technical Office, in Athens and Thessaloniki, reviews the documents and takes the case forward. Phone +30 210 756 1836.
