Inherited property

Have you received your vehicle through an inheritance? In that case you have the possibility to utilize certain exemptions at the registration inspection. The first step is to apply for the import category inherited property in connection with the verification of origin.

Your vehicle is part of an inheritance from a deceased person that was living abroad. You will have to send us documentation that proves this, for instance a will or an estate inventory. You should also send us a copy of the death certificate.

If you categorize your vehicle as inherited property, it is subject to certain exemptions at the registration inspection compared with the usual requirements. The vehicle does not have to meet the more stringent requirements for exhaust emissions imposed in Sweden from and including model year 1989. However, some environmental requirements that apply at annual roadworthiness tests for older vehicles must be met. A vehicle inspection company will be able to provide you with further information.

When applying for the import category inherited property, you will be asked to pay an additional fee of SEK 600. An invoice regarding this fee will be sent to you as soon as we have received your application. Should the application be denied, the fee will not be repaid.
