Why drivers use SECU Plates

How it works
Tell us the vehicle and route
VIN, make and model, start and end point, countries on the way and the days you need. It takes about five minutes.
Pay and sign
Pay by card and sign the power of attorney online. We apply for the permit on your behalf.
Receive the plates
We email the scanned plates or post the originals. After you confirm the scan, we destroy the originals ourselves.
Where can you drive?
Under the Nordic agreement, a vehicle with Finnish transfer plates may visit Sweden, Norway and Denmark when it is roadworthy.
A permit can also be granted for a route through other countries. You are then responsible for checking with each country's registration authority that the permit and insurance are valid there. The start or end point must be in Finland.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to show the car?
No. We apply for the permit with your power of attorney, and you declare on the application that the vehicle is roadworthy.
How long are the plates valid?
For the days you need, at most 7 days. The route is stated in the permit day by day.
Does the route have to start in Finland?
Either the start or the end point must be in Finland, for example our office at Hanko Free Port.
Can I drive outside the Nordic countries?
A permit can be granted for other countries too, but you must check with each country's registration authority that the permit and insurance are valid there.
What insurance is included?
You can choose transfer traffic insurance for the permit period, your own Finnish motor insurance, or ask us to take out insurance in your name if you have a Finnish personal identity code or business ID.
Is comprehensive cover included?
No. The vehicle has no comprehensive cover unless you order it in your own name, and Abco Oy does not compensate damage to the vehicle.
How do I get the plates?
As a scan by email, or the original plates by express letter within the EU.
Who can order?
Private persons and companies. Without a Finnish identity code you give your date of birth and passport number.
