Italy’s E-Scooter ID Stickers Become Mandatory May 16

Insurers won a brief delay for the new liability cover to link each policy to a scooter’s code.

Overview

  • Riders without the adhesive ID from Saturday, May 16, face fines of €100 to €400.
  • You request and pay for the six-character sticker on the Portale dell’automobilista for about €35.
  • Motorizzazione pickup requires an appointment, with the portal urging people who received dates after the deadline to try to rebook earlier.
  • Assoutenti warns many will miss the date and asks the transport ministry to clarify if applicants awaiting pickup may keep riding.
  • The liability insurance rule now starts July 16 as a dedicated policy that lists the sticker code, with a two-year monitoring period and no direct indemnity at first.
