You can get Finnish temporary plates for a set route without showing the vehicle. In the Nordic countries the vehicle does not even need a valid roadworthiness inspection, as long as you declare yourself that it is roadworthy.
The plates are valid for up to 7 days, and the start and end points of the route are stated in the permit. The route can, for example, start or end at our office at Hanko Free Port. We apply for the permit (Traficom B401) on your behalf with a power of attorney, and we post the plates or send them as a scan.
Sweden, Norway and Denmark: under the Nordic agreement, a vehicle with Finnish transfer plates may be driven in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The vehicle must be roadworthy, and the dimension and tax rules of the visited country apply.
Other countries: a transfer permit can also be granted for a route through other countries. You are then responsible for making sure that the permit and the motor insurance are valid in each country you drive in – please check this with the registration authority of that country before driving.
The start or end point of the route must always be in Finland.

The route is stated in the permit day by day: departure on the first day, arrival on the last day and the stop on the day you choose.
The explanation stays with us and is given to Traficom on request. For a vehicle not yet registered in Finland, a notification of tax-free use must usually be made to the Finnish Tax Administration first.
The insurance starts on the first day of the permit. You pay the premium directly to the insurer.
Signed online after payment (SECU Sign).
Permit stickers and insurance are pass-through costs without VAT. VAT 25.5 % is added to our services (not for foreign companies: reverse charge). You receive an invoice with the payment. The insurance premium is paid separately, directly to the insurer.
