Frequently asked questions

How much does a Chinese +86 number cost?

Issuing the number costs 5 500 RSD. Renewal for the next year is 2 900 RSD/year.

How long does issuance take?

Usually one day after the owner's documents are received.

What is required from the car owner?

A phone number, email, car model, your name and surname in Latin letters as in your passport, and the passport number. No document photos, selfie or office visit required.
