Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drive abroad with a temporary WW?
Yes, since 2014, the restriction to national territory has been removed. However, validity remains at the discretion of the countries visited, so inquire before traveling. Spain, in particular, systematically checks vehicles with WW plates at the border.
Can a WW be cancelled after issuance?
No. A temporary WW registration cannot be cancelled. It automatically expires after 4 months and is not renewable.
What if my WW expires before I get my registration certificate?
You must wait for definitive registration. A second WW cannot be issued for the same vehicle. Driving with an expired WW may result in a fine and the immobilization of the vehicle.
How long will it take to receive my WW?
Your document is sent to you by email within 24 hours after receipt and validation of your documents. Our experts check each file before processing.
