Italy Starts Autovelox Census With Nov. 30 Cutoff for Valid Fines

The requirement establishes a public, verifiable map of devices to curb disputes over their use.

Overview

  • The Transport Ministry activated an online portal on Sept. 30 under Decree 18/8/2025 n.305, opening a 60‑day window for police forces and local authorities to register every speed‑detection device.
  • Registration is a legal precondition for use, and fines from unregistered devices will be invalid after Nov. 30 according to the ministry’s directive.
  • Administrations must upload technical and location data—brand, model, type, version, serial number, and approval or homologation details—with updates communicated promptly.
  • Entries will be publicly consultable on the MIT portal, with data entry limited to entities enabled via Motorizzazione CED credentials.
  • The long‑standing lack of a formal homologation procedure remains unresolved despite Cassation rulings distinguishing approval from homologation, with consumer groups citing roughly 60% of fixed and about 67% of mobile devices as not homologated.
