The register is maintained by the Registration Agency and is accessible to the court, the prosecutor’s office and other state bodies.
Access
The register is not public, but everyone has the right to ask and receive information if they are entered in it and what are the incriminating data and documents. The person’s heirs also have such a right.
The registration agency ex officio deletes the entered person from the register when the period of deprivation of the right to drive has expired or the person has died.
The convicted person will also be able to submit an application to the agency for removal from the blacklist.
