The Vehicle Title
This document results from the unification of the Booklet and the Car Ownership Registration Title, created within the scope of the SIMPLIFICA project, in order to reduce bureaucracy, modernize and increase the efficiency of public services and make life easier for citizens.
The new document allows for a single inspection action, carried out simultaneously by the National Police and the General Tax Administration.
The Government’s expectation is to achieve an economic impact, as it will speed up property registration, which, in turn, will be useful for presenting guarantees to commercial banks and other services.
Likewise, in addition to facilitating property registration, the positive effects of the initiative include the security component for vehicle identification.
Vehicle Title Cost according to category
For inspection, registration and initial registration of light vehicles, the driver pays 54,324 kwanzas. Trucks and tractors cost 57,872 kwanzas.
Regarding inspection, registration and initial registration of motorcycles, the cost is 43,751 kwanzas.

The Directorate of Traffic and Road Safety (DSTR) is responsible for issuing the Vehicle Title, in an integrated process that involves the Motor Vehicle Registration Office and the AGT.
The Vehicle Title does not remove the validity of the current Car Registration and Vehicle Title Title.
