Two documents belong to the vehicle: the **prometna dozvola** (registration certificate) and the **knjižica vozila** (vehicle book, the equivalent of the title) — registration needs both. When buying from a private seller it is common to agree verbally only; without a written, bilingual contract, though, the Hungarian procedure stalls. - **TWO DOCUMENTS** — Prometna dozvola + knjižica — The vehicle book is the equivalent of the title — ask for it. - **COMMON MISTAKE** — No written contract — Registration cannot be started on a verbal agreement. - **NO CUSTOMS DUTY** — EU member state — Registration tax and transfer duty do apply, though. ## Which documents are needed for a car imported from Croatia? | Hungarian name | Croatia equivalent | | --- | --- | | Vehicle registration certificate | Prometna dozvola | | Vehicle title | Knjižica vozila | | Proof of technical inspection | Zapisnik o tehničkom pregledu | | Certificate of conformity | COC / Potvrda o sukladnosti | Plus, in every case - bilingual sales contract or original invoice - the owner’s personal documents - for a company, a company extract and specimen signature [Croatian–Hungarian sales contract A downloadable bilingual contract template.
