EUCARIS
EUropean CAR and driving licence
Information System










Started 1994 (BeNeLux) because of abolition of internal borders
No central database/system (no costs for it and no dependence of it)
Every country stays responsible for its own national database
Member States install the possibility that other MS may and can
retrieve this national database/registration (online and 24/7)
MS have the possibility to send via the system information to other MS’
registration
Shared costs for application and system development
Extremely cheap to introduce new functionalities because the basic
technology is already available in nearly all Member States
International connections via national registration authorities
National registration authorities are providers for all kind of national
users, like police, customs, tax and other enforcement authorities
(national hub)
Non profit system only from and for governmental authorities (no
private companies or organizations are involved)

Legal base EReg
 Since 25 April 2012, EReg is an AISBL (an International Non–Profit
Association). This is a legal entity under Belgium law
 Reasons: growing professionalization, better accountability, stronger
international position, legal liability
 The new Articles of Incorporation (“statutes”) are similar to current
agreements. Main change is the necessity of a formal office in
Belgium (at DIV) and the legal position of the Advisory Group
changed into a formal “board position”, including the EReg
Chairman who is also Chairman of the Advisory Board
 Revised new Rules of Procedure are under construction
