dístico (TVDE) — identification sign for a car working for a ride-hailing app
A sign bearing the letters TVDE and a number, which identifies the car on the road. Since 1 September 2026 the law has required a non-removable sign issued by IMT, with anti-forgery features and a QR code: the code shows that the car is authorised, its registration number, the operator's licence number and whether its insurance is valid.
Where you come across it. The sign is issued when the car is registered with IMT; the old removable sign was placed on the right of the windscreen and on the left of the rear window.
The design of the new sign, how it is issued and its price must be approved by a separate ministerial portaria; until then, the IMT website describes the old removable 145×68 mm sign. Breaking the rules on the sign is a separate offence punishable by a fine.
