A domestic goods transport licence can only be granted if the applicant has at least one valid domestic goods transport licence when the application is instituted, and the applicant or the applicant’s transport manager only has a professional competence that entitles them to domestic transport. The licence is always granted in the form of a goods transport licence, if the applicant has the professional competence required for a goods transport licence. Domestic goods transport licences will expire by 1 July 2028 at the latest.

Apply for a domestic goods transport licence for a new vehicle
You can apply for a domestic goods transport licence for a new vehicle 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.
As a rule, an application for additional licences must include a report on the applicant’s financial standing as an attachment.
The application fee of EUR 290 is paid in the service. The payment will not be returned even if the permit is denied or the application is cancelled.
You will receive the licence by post
You will receive the licence decision and its attachments by post within approximately 3 weeks of submitting the application. Requests for information and clarifications concerning the application affect the total processing time.
