Applying for a replacement Community licence or certificate of authorisation for the carriage of goods by road for hire or reward

If a permit or Community licence is no longer available or is illegible, you must apply to the competent authority for a replacement.

For commercial road haulage, you need a permit or, in the case of cross-border transport, a Community licence, which you will receive as a document.

You also need a copy of the permit or a certified copy of the Community licence for each vehicle.

You must have each document, copy or certified copy replaced if it is lost:

• is lost
• is stolen
• becomes unusable, for example due to
  • Soiling
  • Water damage

When applying, you must provide credible evidence of the loss. If a copy has been stolen, you must report this to the police.
