Overview
- The traffic authority confirms the prior registration requirement for personal mobility vehicles is not yet enforceable because the legal decree has not been approved.
- Technical work on the registry is complete, but the Royal Decree remains under urgent processing and was not ready by the planned 2 January 2026 start.
- Ley 5/2025 mandates insurance for all VMP and links mandatory coverage to prior registration once the registry is operational.
- VMP over 25 kg and capable of more than 14 km/h must be insured now without prior registration, with the transitional period ending on 26 January 2026.
- Once the decree takes effect, all VMP must register through the DGT’s online portal, and the agency will issue detailed instructions for users.
