Come fare / Cosa fare

How to mark your bike

The service is carried out only upon reservation. To make a reservation:

fill in and sign the registration form “Mod. 2051 - Declaration of ownership" (also available at the Progetto Mobilità e Sicurezza dei Lavoratori Tel. 0461-884773 or at the URP), and e-mail it, together with an ID copy, at ufficio_mobilita@comune.trento.it;

bring the form, together with an ID copy, to the Mobility Office (Mobility and Safety Project) or to the URP in their opening hours.

The applicant will be included in a reservation list and will be then contacted by phone in order to define a suitable date.

Minors

Minors can mark their bike with their own tax code or with that of a parent.
In the first case, the registration form must be filled with the minor’s data and signed by a parent who will attach a copy of his/her ID along with that of the minor.
In the second case, the registration form must be filled with the parent’s data and signed by the parent who will attach a personal ID copy.

How it works

On the day of the marking the owner must bring:

the bicycle
the health insurance card
the ID mentioned in the registration form

Once the marking operation is completed a card containing the owner’s and the bicycle’s data is issued.

What to do in case of sale or transfer

Any transfer of ownership of the bike must be communicated to the Mobility Office which will update the database and release a new card to the new owner.

What to do in case of theft

In the unlucky event of a bike theft, the owner must file a complaint to the Police or Carabinieri (bringing his/her card so as to allow the agents to access the “Targa la Bici” database) and communicate the theft to the Mobility Office.
