In Benin, failing to attend a technical inspection appointment within 30 days leads to the loss of fees already paid and obliges the motorist to restart the procedure. The National Road Safety Centre also specifies that the follow-up inspection must be carried out within 48 hours of notification of the repairs, according to La Nouvelle Tribune.

In Benin, missing a technical inspection appointment within 30 days can result in the procedure having to be restarted and new expenses for the motorist. The National Road Safety Centre (CNSR) recalled this deadline in a statement published on 9 October 2026, according to La Nouvelle Tribune.

The CNSR also said that a follow-up inspection carried out after the deadline could oblige the user to restart the technical inspection procedure and pay the corresponding fees again, La Nouvelle Tribune reports.
