O1 trailers, with a maximum mass of 750 kg, have been among the vehicle categories most affected by recent market growth. But must an O1 caravan or trailer be registered? We examine the question using the applicable official sources.
Must O1 Caravans Be Registered?
To answer the central question: the regulation published in the Official Gazette on 4 December 2024 made registration and licensing mandatory for O1 vehicles with a maximum mass of 750 kg. Read the detailed guidance.
When purchasing a caravan or trailer, always verify that the vehicle's type approval is valid. Registration of O1-category vehicles is optional. In other words, the trailer may be used on the road with the registration plate of the towing vehicle.

Under the new rules, O1 vehicle registrations will be processed through ARTES. See the related article for the applicable dates and exemptions.
