International Freight Transportation License
If your company intends to carry out international transportation using vehicles weighing
over 3.5 tonnes, you must obtain an EU Community License.
This license confirms that your company meets the standards established by
EU Regulation No. 1071/2009 and No. 1072/2009.
For vehicles weighing between 2.5 and 3.5 tonnes, an EU regulation requiring a license
came into effect on May 21, 2022, but its enforcement in Estonia began
from January 1, 2023.
Important: You do not need an international license for driving in
Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland if the vehicle does not exceed 3.5 tonnes
and you are not transporting goods for third parties.
The international license is issued by the Estonian Transport Administration and includes a
main document and certified copies (one for each vehicle). These copies must be
kept in the cabin of the corresponding vehicle and presented during inspections.
