First-time registration of a vehicle
You can use the service for the first-time registration of a new car, motorcycle or any other vehicle. Complete the first-time registration before taking the vehicle into traffic use. To submit a notification via e-Services, you will need a digital certificate, which will be provided to you by the seller. Please note that some of Traficom’s e-services and PDF forms are only available in Finnish and Swedish.
The service can be used for the first-time registration of a new vehicle if the vehicle has a registration number and registration plates. Complete the first-time registration before taking the vehicle into traffic use and attaching the registration plates to the vehicle. To report via the service, you will need a digital certificate, which will be provided to you by the seller. The date on which the first-time registration is made is marked as the date on which the vehicle was taken into use.
You can take the vehicle into traffic use immediately after you have completed the first-time registration and attached the registration plates. Registration plates are paid when completing the first-time registration of the vehicle and the price of the registration plates is added to the first-time registration fee.
