Register a vehicle
The car and motorcycle registration page, updated on 04/08/2026, asks for:
- The bill of sale, with the invoice number, the purchase date and the vehicle’s other details.
- Notarial certification of signatures, if the selling company isn’t in the División’s Registro de Firmas.
- Proof of address in the department of Salto.
- The ID card, with the buyer’s details.
- The vehicle, for inspection.
- The Dirección Nacional de Aduanas certificate, if the vehicle cleared customs before 15/12/2008.
- The SOA, compulsory motor insurance.
You need a prior appointment: you book on the online booking page, choosing Registro de Tránsito, and on the booked day you ask for a number at the Mesa de Informes. It can’t be done online.

We didn’t find the requirements or the cost of a duplicate registration card on an official Salto page. Ask the División Registro.
