An ITV sticker is given with a pass sheet once a vehicle passes successfully an ITV test.
If your car is less than four years old, a sticker on the windscreen is not needed because the first ITV test has to be done when the car reaches this age. Other kinds of vehicles have different periods of non-obligation of ITV test since they are bought new.
If your car already passed an ITV test, you should be given an ITV sticker, which should be placed in the upper right (for inside point of view) corner of your car windscreen through its inner face. The printed side of the badge will be self-adhesive.
Remember to remove the previous sticker if there were any from a previous test. You shouldn’t ever be more
than one ITV sticker on your windshield.
If you ride a motorbike, you should place the ITV sticker in a visible place.
The aim of the ITV sticker is to facilitate a quick inspection to any traffic officer who wants to check if the vehicle has a current in date technical inspection.
If caught without the sticker the fine could be up to 100€, although there will be no loss of points (for now).
If for any reason you need a new sticker, just call into the nearest ITV station carrying the pass sheet with you to get a new ITV sticker.
You may be wondering why there are different colours of
stickers in different cars. Well, the colour doesn’t depend on the car but the year in which the ITV inspection was done on the car.
For example, 2021 is red, 2022 is green and 2023 is yellow, and then 2024 back with red again… there are only these three colours.
Another kind of sticker is the environmental sticker. You can read about it here:
