Welcome to 86th VRS Kapaun Vehicle Inspection

POV Inspection at Kapaun Air Station is utilizing the QR code to schedule appointments for Vehicle Inspections. Re-inspections following inspection fails are still automatic walk ins. Customers can utilize the link provided (https://book.2meters.app/places/PJBWM2TM5VLGkbipNVbh) or QR code below:





Vehicles brought from the continental U.S., previous duty station or purchased locally must be registered with USAREUR. All shipped vehicles and used vehicles purchased in Germany must pass a mechanical safety inspection before they can be registered, except new POVs. New POVs that have never been registered in any system for more than three months are exempt from the requirement for a mechanical inspection before initial registration. Safety inspections may be completed up to 75 calendar days before a registration expires. An inspection is also required when a POV registration has been canceled for failure to renew the registration or to provide proof of liability insurance. Inspections of POVs conducted by the Technischer Überwachungs-verein (TÜV) or the Deutscher Kraftfahrzeug-Überwachungs-Verein (DEKRA) are valid and honored for 60 calendar days from the date of the inspection.
