EUmerkintöjen

EUmerkintöjen (meaning "EU registrations" in Finnish) refers to a set of standardized documents and procedures used by member states of the European Union to register and deregister vehicles for use within the EU.

The EUmerkintöjen system is designed to simplify vehicle registration and improve the free movement of goods within the EU. Each member state is responsible for maintaining its own vehicle registration database, which must be compatible with the European Union's Vehicle Registration System (EUCARIS).

The process of registering a vehicle under the EUmerkintöjen system involves the owner or importer obtaining an EC type-approval document, which certifies that the vehicle meets EU safety and environmental standards. The vehicle must then be registered with the relevant national authority, which will issue a unique vehicle identifier (UL) and allocate anVehicle registration plate.

Vehicles registered under the EUmerkintöjen system can be driven freely throughout the EU without any additional documentation. However, owners must ensure that their vehicle is registered and insured in accordance with national regulations.

In addition to vehicle registration, the EUmerkintöjen system also covers the deregistration of vehicles. This is typically required when a vehicle is exported outside the EU or when it is scrapped. The deregistration process involves notification to the relevant national authority, which will update its database and invalidate the Vehicle registration plate.

Overall, the EUmerkintöjen system has streamlined vehicle registration and deregistration procedures across the EU, improving the mobility of goods and services within the single market.
