OJ L, 2024/982, 5.4.2024, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/982/oj.

(1) Regulation (EU) 2024/982 establishes a framework for the automated search and exchange of certain categories of data for cross-border police cooperation, including vehicle registration data between Member States for the purpose of preventing, detecting and investigating criminal offences.

(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2024/982, the Commission is to specify technical rules for automated search and exchange of vehicle registration data to be carried out via the European Vehicle and Driving Licence Information System (EUCARIS).

(3) It is therefore necessary to lay down technical rules governing the automated searches and exchanges of such data in order to ensure interoperability, reliability and a uniform level of security across all Member States.

(4) Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2024/982 distinguishes between different types of automated searches. Technical rules should be specified for the two types of searches to be implemented for vehicle registration data, namely searches conducted with vehicle-related data to identify the owner or holder and searches conducted with owner- or holder-related data to identify all vehicles associated with that person.

(5) To ensure a consistent approach in the exchange of vehicle registration data and an appropriate quality level of the data exchanged, it is necessary to define the mandatory data elements to be exchanged and the optional data elements that may be exchanged, the corresponding search parameters and the communication mechanisms through EUCARIS. Member States should be encouraged to exchange optional data elements when available in their national databases, to enhance the completeness and usefulness of cross-border information exchange.

(6) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark did not take part in the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2024/982 and is not bound by it or subject to its application. Denmark is therefore not bound by this Decision or subject to its application.

(7) Ireland is bound by Regulation (EU) 2024/982 and is therefore bound by this Decision.

(8) The European Data Protection Supervisor delivered an opinion on 27 January 2026 .

(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Prüm II Committee, established by Article 77 of Regulation (EU) 2024/982,

The specifications relating to the technical rules for the automated search and exchange of vehicle registration data shall be as set out in the Annex.

Article 1 Article 1

Article 2 Article 2

Article 3 Article 3

This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .
