About this plate
TARGHE EE (ESCURSIONISTI ESTERI), the plate an Italian resident abroad or a foreigner passing through gets for a temporarily imported vehicle or for a factory-new vehicle bought in Italy for export. THE EE PLATE IS THE ONE ITALIAN PLATE WITH A DATE ON IT: a red expiry sticker giving month and year, in a rectangle the regulation embosses into the plate. Since D.P.R. 198/2012 suppressed Appendice XII lett. q), EE trailers have no separate format and fall under this entry.
How long it is valid
max months: 12. note: art. 134 c. 1 del codice: 'una carta di circolazione della durata massima di un anno, salvo eventuale proroga, e una speciale targa di riconoscimento, come stabilito nel regolamento'
