What is a transport license?

A transport license is an official document issued by transport regulatory bodies, such as Ministries of Transport, which authorizes a company to transport goods on behalf of third parties. This includes transporting goods during a move. The transport license certifies that the removal company complies with current regulations and has the necessary skills to carry out the transport in a safe and legal manner.

 

The different types of transport license

Transport licenses may vary by country and region, but some common categories include:

  • National transport license : This license allows a company to transport goods within national borders.
  • International transport license: This license authorizes the transport of goods between different countries. To carry out international moves, moving companies must have this license in addition to other required documents, such as customs and work permits.
  • Community transport license : This license is specific to the European Union (EU) and allows moving companies to transport goods between EU member countries. It is often required for cross-border moves within the EU.

 

The consequences of non-compliance with transport license regulations

Failure to comply with transport license regulations can have serious consequences for removal companies. In addition to financial penalties and potential fines, the absence of a transport license can lead to suspension or closure of the company. What’s more, hiring a mover without a transport license can jeopardize the safety of your belongings and expose you to legal risks in the event of problems during the move.

 

In conclusion, transport license regulations are of paramount importance when choosing a professional mover. Transport licenses guarantee that the company complies with industry regulations and has the necessary skills to carry out transport legally and safely.
