According to the information in the bill that will be submitted for consultation in the next period, there will be a provision whereby checks will be carried out every three months through extensive electronic crossings.
The purpose of the Ministry of Finance is to put into operation within 2024 a permanent mechanism for mass control of vehicles in circulation under the AADE to identify omissions in terms of insurance obligations, technical control of road transport and traffic fees and the necessary imposition of fines.
What is sought by the financial staff is the rationalization of the road tax certification and to make it easier to identify uninsured vehicles in circulation and vehicles that should have been checked by KTEO. At the same time, the aim is to more effectively check any omissions regarding the obligations of the vehicles in circulation in an automated way and to strengthen the compliance of the persons liable.
The new arrangements being promoted concern the incorporation of an EU directive on compulsory insurance.
According to data from the Athens Chamber of Commerce, at least 500,000 vehicles are currently on the roads without insurance, and it is necessary to cross-check the data with the AADE, while the fine must be transferred immediately to the tax office.
However, with the new system, online checks will be carried out every year, initially every 3 or 4 months and every 1-2 months thereafter, instead of every 5 or 10 years that has been the case so far.
- After I received it Uninsured Vehicle Detection Notification that my uninsured vehicle has been detected, I choose the e-Tax service with TAXISnet codes from Citizen Services
- I log in with the codes in the e-Ticket application and find and retrieve the ticket generated for my uninsured vehicle whose number matches the log number of the notice I received (I choose Actions and then View).
- I can either make a direct payment of the fee, or “Print a Fee” and pay it at a credit institution or via web banking.
- I turn to any Insurance company in order to insure my vehicle using the paid premium
Driving a vehicle without insurance will result in penalties.
According to the corresponding legislation for an uninsured vehicle, specifically article 5 paragraph 4, article 12 and article 5a of 489/76 FEK A’331 “On Compulsory Insurance of motor vehicles in civil liability accidents” there are the following penalties:

If the owner does not do the above, a new fine of €500 will be imposed on him, as well as the above administrative and criminal sanctions.
