Kyrgyzstan extends deadline for legalizing foreign-plated vehicles to Sept. 1

Kyrgyzstan has extended the deadline for legalizing vehicles with foreign license plates until September 1, according to a presidential decree announced by the Main Traffic Safety Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This extension offers vehicle owners a crucial window to regularize their status.

Owners whose vehicles are currently impounded can retrieve them and proceed with the legalization process at local offices. However, all outstanding fines and mandatory payments must be settled before legalization can occur. To ease the burden on owners, a preferential daily storage fee of 50 soms has been implemented for vehicles in impound lots. Additionally, a 50 percent discount on total accumulated storage charges will be applied.

The authorities are urging citizens to utilize this extended period and complete the legalization process before the September 1 deadline. This initiative aims to bring more vehicles into compliance with national regulations while providing financial relief to owners facing storage fees.
