Instructions for using e-services in transport matters

Transport matters in e-services

  • The My e-Services portal, which requires identification, includes vehicle information, registration and tax services as well as services concerning driving licences. 
  • Public services, which do not require identification Some of the services can be used online, while others require you to print out the documents and send them by post.
  • In addition to the e-services channel, you can visit the service points of Traficom's service provider or manage your issues by post, depending on the service you are using.

Specific instructions for each service are available on our website under 'Services' .

Logging in to the portal

My e-Services for transport matters is a service channel for individual persons or persons acting on behalf of a company. The service requires identification.  Traficom is responsible for ensuring that the digital service is compatible with the most common web browsers and utility software but not for the functioning of the service if the user uses custom software solutions, for example. The service user is responsible for the searches he or she performs in the service and for the accuracy of the information submitted via the service.

Private customers

Private customers log in and verify their identity using the Finnish government's shared Suomi.fi identification service. Traficom allows identification through bank identifiers, a mobile certificate or a certificate card.

Organisations

Organisation customers can log in using Suomi.fi identification service. (External link) Each organisation must authorise its assignees with Traficom via the Suomi.fi e-Authorizations service. (External link)

Payments

Some services are subject to a fee which is charged when the transaction or order is completed. You can pay buy using your Finnish online banking username and password or a credit card (Visa debit and credit, Visa Electron, Mastercard debit and credit, Maestro and American Express). 

The organisation may also select electronic invoicing as a method of payment in some services. You may start using e-invoices after the organisation's main user adds an e-invoicing address for the organisation in the section "Organisation's details".

Supporting documents

Some online services require supporting documents to be sent as an attachment. To attach documents, you can either scan them or take a photograph of them, for example with your smartphone.

Service-specific instructions

Specific instructions for each service are available on our website under 'Services' .The descriptions can also be found within My e-Services, under Instructions. More detailed instructions can be found after logging in.

Obstacles to using e-services

There are reasons why e-services may be unavailable. One is that the status of a service has been set as "passive" for a user within My e-Services. This may, for example, be because the user's vehicle is recorded as having an alteration prohibition in the register.

Data protection

Data in the portal is transferred over a secured connection (SSL). A security audit has been performed on the portal.

If you notice any faults or inconsistencies in our services, please let us know so that we can correct them as soon as possible. We are also happy to receive suggestions for improvements. In these matters, please contact customer services.
