The reference date
- The reference date is the day and month of first registration (see your registration certificate).
- You may go up to two months before that date without the reference date changing.
- If you go earlier, the reference date moves to the day of the inspection.
- If you go later, you pay a surcharge for late inspection. Not having received a reminder is no reason to have it refunded.
What is not allowed with an O plate?
- Commercial and professional use.
- Commuting to work or school.
- Paid passenger transport.
- Use as a working vehicle or for emergency interventions.
These rules were introduced in 2018 (source: GOCA, the Belgian vehicle inspection association). If in doubt, check the current conditions with your inspection centre.
