How to Get an Electric Scooter
"Targa" in Milan, Italy
Skip the expensive middleman agencies. Book your appointment online and do it yourself easily — no Italian required.
Italy has introduced strict new transport regulations in 2026, and if you ride an electric scooter — known locally as a Monopattino Elettrico — in Milan, obtaining an official Targa (Registration License Plate) is now fully legally mandatory. Riding without one can result in fines or confiscation of your scooter, so acting quickly is essential.
Many people are turning to third-party agencies offering to handle the paperwork for them, charging anywhere from €80 to €150 in service fees. The good news? You absolutely do not need to pay anyone for this. The entire registration process can be completed by yourself — online, from home — within just a few minutes, followed by a single visit to the local transport office to collect your physical plate.
This guide walks you through every step of the process clearly and simply: what documents you need, what the costs are, how to navigate the official Italian government portal, and exactly where to go to collect your Targa. Whether you are a long-term Milan resident, a recent arrival, or a foreign national living in the city, this guide covers everything you need to know to get registered and ride legally with confidence.
Costs & Required Documents
Payable safely via PagoPA — Italy's official government payment platform. You can pay with a credit card, debit card, or bank transfer directly through the portal. No cash is needed, and you will receive an instant digital receipt as confirmation.
- A clear scanned copy of your valid Passport (all data pages visible). EU nationals may also use their national ID card instead.
- The payment confirmation receipt PDF generated by PagoPA after completing your €34.86 payment. Download and print this immediately.
- The completed, printed, and hand-signed Allegato 1 application form. Instructions for downloading it are provided below.
Download Allegato 1 Form
The Allegato 1 is the official application form required by the Italian Motorizzazione Civile to issue a Monopattino registration plate. This is a standard government document that you must download, print on paper, fill in by hand with a pen, and physically sign before attending your appointment.
The form requests basic information including your personal details, scooter specifications, and declaration of ownership. Read both sides of the document carefully before filling it in. If any field is unclear, leave it blank and ask the officer at the counter — they are accustomed to helping applicants complete the paperwork on the day.

Step-by-Step Procedure
Begin by visiting Il Portale dell'Automobilista, which is the official Italian government portal managed by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. This is the only legitimate website through which Monopattino Targa registrations can be completed in Italy — do not use any third-party websites claiming to offer the same service.
To log in, you will need either your SPID (Sistema Pubblico di Identità Digitale) credentials or your CIE (Carta d'Identità Elettronica) electronic identity card with an NFC-enabled reader. If you do not yet have SPID, you can obtain it free of charge through providers such as Poste Italiane, Intesa, or Namirial — this typically takes 1–2 working days and requires your Italian tax code (Codice Fiscale) and a valid identity document.
Once you are logged in, you will land on the main user dashboard. Look for the section labelled "Tipologia operazione" (Type of Operation). The portal lists a wide range of vehicle registration services, so it is important to follow the correct navigation path precisely to avoid selecting the wrong procedure.
Using the dropdown menus, select the following sequence in order:
MONOPATTINI → ALTRE TIPOLOGIE DI VEICOLI → RILASCIO CONTRASSEGNO MONOPATTINI - X001
Once selected, complete any required fields on the screen — such as your scooter's serial number or motor details — and save the operation. The portal will then guide you to the payment step via PagoPA, where you will pay the €34.86 fee. Save and download your payment receipt as a PDF immediately — you will need it at the appointment.
After completing the payment and saving your operation, your next step is to book a physical appointment at the Milan Motorizzazione Civile office. Use the official booking portal linked below to view available time slots and select a date that suits you.
Appointment slots can fill up quickly, especially during weekday mornings, so try to book as early as possible — ideally within 24 to 48 hours of completing your online registration. When selecting your appointment, choose the Milan location specifically (Via Francesco Cilea, 20151). The system may show offices in other cities, so double-check your selection before confirming. You will receive a confirmation email with your appointment details — keep this accessible on your phone or printed on the day.
On your scheduled appointment day, gather all three required documents — your passport copy, your PagoPA payment receipt, and your completed and signed Allegato 1 form — and bring them to the Motorizzazione Civile office in Milan (address below).
The office allows some flexibility on the appointment day, meaning you are not strictly required to arrive at the exact minute of your booked slot. However, arriving close to your appointment time is strongly recommended to avoid long waits, as the office can get busy, particularly on Mondays and Fridays. Aim to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early.
Once your documents are verified by the officer at the counter, your Targa (physical licence plate) will be issued to you on the spot. The plate must be affixed securely to your scooter and remain visible at all times while riding. Congratulations — you are now fully compliant with Italian law and can ride your Monopattino in Milan without any worry!
