Carnet for a foreign registered vehicle
 

Hello together,

another Carnet question. All relevant threads I found so far with the HUBB search seem to be outdated.

I (German passport and residency) would like to arrange a Carnet de Passage for a South African registered car (registration on my name but no residency).

So far ADAC declined. Even they did it in the past they will not do it anymore.

According to AA website a South African residency is mandatory. Did not cross check it but even in the unlikely case of processing I don’t think a deposit in Rand is a good investment.

Did anybody recently manage to get a carnet for a foreign registered vehicle or has a hint how to?

Best regards
Bernd

The AA of South Africa should be able to do this, even if you're not resident. Call them (rather than email) - they are helpful in our experience. If still no luck you could look for a contact in RSA who could get the CdP and give you authority to use the vehicle.

Try also the Swiss auto club (I don't recall the name but google this) - they issue CdPs for non-Swiss vehicles.

To answer your question ("Did anybody recently manage to get a carnet for a foreign registered vehicle...?") we obtained a CdP (actually twice) for a UK-registered vehicle in Kenya - we are not resident in the UK.
