Physical Examination of Motor Vehicles A physical examination will be conducted by a Licence Revenue Officer and Customs Officer to verify the details provided in the application form and supporting documents, such as the engine and chassis numbers. Additionally, checks will be made to determine whether the vehicle is tinted, and if so, to ensure that the tint meets the legal requirements. The Customs Officer will also verify the accuracy of the taxes paid. Vehicles with Engine Capacity Less Than 2000cc Motor vehicles with an engine capacity below 2000cc are not required to undergo a physical examination at the Licence Revenue Office prior to first registration. This is subject to the completion and submission of a Vehicle Registration Form with the Customs declaration in the Automated System for Customs Data (ASYCUDA). The Form, which is available on www.gra.gov.gy, should include details such as the chassis number, engine number, color, make, model, and engine capacity. Dealers and brokers are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the declared vehicle details, including applicable taxes. Non-compliance may result in penalties, including the suspension or revocation of licenses. Unverified Vehicles In cases where vehicle details cannot be verified at the port of entry, the vehicle(s) must be presented at the Licence Revenue Office for a thorough examination to confirm the accuracy of the information provided.
