Vehicle License Plate costs

You will receive your new vehicle license plate normally ten business days after the application has been processed. The rear plate, registration fee and administration cost is 35€ and can be paid either in cash or with Bank Card the day of the initial application.  You will receive an email when your plates are available to pick up at the MoFA Office in BLDG 210.

Plaque Normal

(52 cm x 11 cm) (20.47 in x 4.33 in) 
Front plate: 10€ Total cost for both plates 45€

Plaque Carré

(34 cm x 21 cm) (13.38 in x 8.26 in)  
Front plate 20€ Total cost for both plates 55€

Plaque Special

This is because this type of plate is normally for a motorcycle.


Road Tax

In Belgium, you need to pay road tax for each vehicle in your possession (also for motorcycles with engine displacements > 50 cc). As a SHAPE member (not Belgian) you are free from road tax for one vehicle. In case you have more vehicles, you are exempted from road tax for the vehicle with the largest engine size. Once your vehicles are registered under the SHAPE system, you will yearly receive a bill in order to pay the road tax. If you sell your vehicle or you leave SHAPE during that year, it is important to give back your license plate to the SHAPE, in order to comply with the Belgian legislation, and in that case, the license plate being deregistered, you will get a refund (on the bank account you pay the road tax with).


For any questions or remarks on your invoice, please send an email to: fiscalite.wallonie@spw.wallonie.be or call the following number:      +32 (0)81 330 301
