Global InformationEUCARIS information
EUCARIS, an acronym for the European Car and Driving Licence Information System, is a collaborative initiative established in 1994 to combat international vehicle crime and driving license tourism through the exchange of vehicle and driving license information among its member nations. The primary aim of EUCARIS is to facilitate seamless information sharing, enabling member countries to conduct checks on potential obstacles for re-registration of vehicles or the exchange of driving licenses. This cooperative effort was formalized through the multilateral EUCARIS Treaty, which governs the activities of participating states in setting up and operating an information exchange system.
EUCARIS currently boasts a membership of 32 European countries, along with territories including Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey. The system is open for use not only by the treaty-signatory Parties but also by other EU and EFTA countries, categorized as Third Parties. EUCARIS offers the option for additional bilateral agreements, predominantly concerning cross-border enforcement of traffic violations.
EUCARIS is continuously evolving to meet emerging needs and challenges. The initiative is in the process of developing a Gateway that will enable access to its network for authorities outside the European Union through the internet. This expansion will facilitate cooperation with countries like Australia, the USA, and even low-income nations in Africa, offering them the benefits of information exchange and collaboration facilitated by EUCARIS.[1]
