Hi everyone, I just moved to Geneva to intern for the summer and do a semester exchange at a university for the fall. I just applied for my carte de legitimacion which I was told could take 4 weeks or something and will only last until the end of july. i'm currently working on getting my student visa worked out so i'm not sure when that will arrive.

so i'm wondering if it will be a total nightmare for me to buy a motorscooter, register it, and insure it. how does one go about registering a vehicle. is it possible without the carte de legitimacion? i saw something on the forum about temporary plates... thoughts?

best,

kan
