What do you need to know?
If undertakings or self-employed persons not engaged in the carriage of goods for third parties wish to transport goods on their own account as a supplement to their main activities, they need to apply for a permit.
Each vehicle with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3 500 kg which is intended to carry out this type of transport must carry a certified copy of the permit, which will be issued using the vehicle registration plate for identification.
We recommend obtaining appropriate advice in the offices of the Territorial Transport Service for the area (Barcelona, Lleida, Girona or Tarragona) on the type of transport that can be considered supplementary private transport.
