  Apply for a change in the security during the period of validity of the licence

  You can apply for a change in the security during the period of validity of the licence online in My e-Services under the section road traffic transport licences.

  In matters related to transport operations, a natural person selects ‘Personal services’, while a legal person should choose ‘Acting on behalf of a company/an organisation’. This means that a natural person as an applicant or a licence holder always acts as an individual, not as a representative of their company operating under a business name. Only a person with the right to represent the transport company either with an authorisation or without a separate authorisation based on their role recorded in the Finnish Trade Register may act on behalf of a company in the service.

  E-services for transport and Suomi.fi authorisations

  A positive decision requires the applicant to provide a replacement security that meets the requirements for demonstrating financial standing.

  The service is free of charge.
