Apply for the renewal of a taxi, goods or passenger transport licence

You must apply for the renewal of a taxi, goods or passenger transport licence upon the end of its period of validity.

Do the following:

  1. Step 1

    Learn more about the requirements for issuing a taxi, goods or passenger transport licence

    You can find further information on the need for a taxi transport licence and the licence requirements on the page ‘I want to become a taxi entrepreneur’.
    You can find further information on the need for a passenger transport licence and the licence requirements on the page ‘I want to become a bus or coach operator’.
  2. Step 2

    Apply for the renewal of a taxi, goods or passenger transport licence

    You can apply for the renewal of a taxi, goods or passenger transport 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.
