Vehicle inspection
The deadline for the JO-tag vehi-
cle inspection is this Thursday at
4:15 p.m. This week is your last
chance to get your vehicle inspect-
ed at Building 507 (Wash Rack).
If you fail to get your vehicle
inspected at the Wash Rack by Thurs-
day, the Icelandic Police have
granted vehicle owners one week to
have their vehicle inspection com-
pleted in Keflavik.
If your vehicle is waiting for
repair parts before you can get it
inspected, you are required to re-
move the JO tags from the vehicle
and turn them into the Icelandic Po-
lice Station at Njardvik gate (gate
2).
Next you are required to get an
on-base temporary parking permit
from the Naval Station Security Of-
fice. Then when your vehicle is re-
paired you can pick up your tags at
the Police Station and drive to the
inspection station in Keflavik. Now
you have the vehicle inspected at
Thomas A. Dames, in the background on
deadline is here
this inspection station, and then
you will return to the Icelandic
Police Station and show proof of in-
spection.
If the Icelandic Police remove
the JO tags, either on base or at
the gate, the vehicle must be towed
off base to the Vehicle Inspection
Station, and the owner is subject to
fines in Icelandic Courts. After
the vehicle has been towed to the
inspection station and the inspec-
tion has been completed, the JO tags
must be reobtained at the Icelandic
Police Station prior to driving the
vehicle.
After remounting JO vehicle tags
on the vehicle, the owner may drive
to the Naval Station Security Office
for vehicle registration and Naval
Station vehicle registration tag
issue.
Avoid the problems of off base
inspection by having your vehicle
inspected on base prior to the
Thursday deadline.
