Road traffic office Canton Zurich

The Road Traffic Office of the Canton of Zurich (Strassenverkehrsamt) serves as the central point of contact for all matters relating to road safety and vehicle registration. It ensures safety on the roads through regular vehicle inspections, matters of traffic law, and the issuing of driver's licenses. The office offers comprehensive services designed for both vehicle owners and learner drivers. These include theory and driving tests, direct support for new drivers, and special tests for people with mobility disabilities. Particular attention is paid to road safety, not only through the administration of tests but also through preventive measures aimed at reducing accident numbers.

The organization is divided into several departments, each focusing on specific topics, including vehicle registration, the issuing of license plates, and the collection of traffic taxes. The boat-license exam also plays an important role for everyone active on the waterways in the Canton of Zurich. The Road Traffic Office also administers the traffic taxes that help finance the transport network. Care is taken to ensure that all vehicles are properly insured and have the required documents.

The Road Traffic Office is also interested in playing an active role in the community and regularly offers information and training. Services are available on weekdays, Monday through Friday, with phone availability to clarify questions and concerns directly. The website also offers a contact section in which citizens can get in touch directly with the office to obtain information or assistance. It is therefore not only an administrative body but also a source of knowledge and safety for every road user in the Canton of Zurich.
