Apply for a transfer permit for your vehicle if you need to temporarily transfer or use it. With the transfer permit, you will receive the transfer badges that you must attach to the vehicle before using it.
A transfer permit is vehicle-specific and it is issued for a justified purpose. The permit may be issued for a vehicle that has not been registered for the first time or has been decommission ...
Apply for the transfer permit from an inspection station that offers registration services or from a Customs office. Fill in the transfer permit application either in advance or in the office. Note that the validity period of the transfer permit must begin within one week from when you apply for the permit.
When you apply for the transfer permit, you will also need a motor vehicle liability insurance. You can take out a temporary motor liability insurance granted by the Finnish Motor Insurers’ Centre when you apply for the transfer permit.
Keep the transfer permit you received with you when you drive and attach the transfer badges to the vehicle.
Remember to remove and destroy the transfer badges after the validity of the transfer permit has ended.
