When can you apply to become a service provider?

You can apply to become a service provider for information services if your business needs information from the Transport Register regularly for a transport-related service.

  • transport-related operations either in the business itself or in end-user companies
  • a clear and lawful purpose of use for the data
  • sufficient technical and information security capabilities
  • readiness to follow Traficom’s instructions
