Check if you need to register a trailer before towing it abroad

1 Sep 2025

You must register all trailers over 750kg to drive to or through most countries in Europe, apart from Ireland, Cyprus, Malta and Spain.

This means that these trailers making international journeys will need to:

  • display their own registration plate (separate from the vehicle towing them)
  • have a trailer registration certificate that can be shown to a foreign authority on request
