Car Stickers

Left sticker is for the car check and pollution sticker, right sticker is for the registration


As we have had our car for a year in UB it was time to change the stickers on the car.
One sticker is for the registration and one sticker is for the pollution charge and good working inspection.
Every year each car on the road here must up grade the stickers.
With anything it takes time to do, first I had to arrange the registration sticker where you go to the office, pay the money on one level then take the papers up to another level, get the two documents signed and stamped and then you are given the sticker, cost were all of $60.
 
Next I had to take the car to the inspection workshop where waiting is something that has to be done in line for nearly an hour before you reach the inspection part to find the car is looked at for a whole two minutes to ensure the car is of good condition. I had to laugh as there are some many cars on the roads here which have easy spotted defects with lights, pollution and falling apart that I wonder how these cars pass this simple test. After the inspection and the $10 is paid then you receive the sticker.
 
Its so important to ensure all the documents are correct for the car as if you are pulled over by the police they will make sure they give you a hard time as it seem expats never get off lightly.
