The document certifying that a vehicle is approved for traffic is:
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. registration document.
Explanation
The question is about the document that confirms that a motor vehicle is approved for road use. This is the vehicle registration certificate - answer A.
The Road Traffic Act states that the document confirming that a motor vehicle, an agricultural tractor, a moped or a trailer is approved for road use is the vehicle registration certificate or a temporary permit; a vehicle is approved for road use if it meets the technical conditions, is registered and has legalised registration plates. The vehicle card (karta pojazdu) mentioned in answer B used to be a document that went with the vehicle when the owner changed, but it has not been issued since 2022 and it never confirmed approval for road use. The inspection sticker on the windscreen from answer C has also been abolished; it was only an additional marking, not a document. The vehicle registration certificate contains data about the vehicle and the owner, the dates of technical inspections and the number of seats; since 2018 you have not had to carry it with you when driving in Poland, because the police officer checks the data in the Central Vehicle Register, but the document must exist and be valid - without a valid technical inspection the vehicle must not be used on the road. When you go abroad, you always take the registration certificate with you.
