Ylikuormitukselleformi

Ylikuormitukselleformi is a Finnish administrative form used by transport operators to report or request approval for carrying a load that exceeds the standard weight limits established by the Finnish Road Traffic Act. The form is required when the weight of goods, equipment or a vehicle’s cargo surpasses permissible limits for the type and class of vehicle, or when temporary overload allowances are applied for specific circumstances, such as road works or emergency transport.

The form collects detailed information about the vehicle—such as registration number, class, permissible gross weight—along with data on the actual loaded weight, the type of cargo, the driver and the route. It is used both for obtaining an official overload permit from the local transport authority and for documentation purposes in case of roadside inspections or incidents. Once completed, the application is submitted to the relevant branch of the Finnish Transport Administration or the municipal authority responsible for road safety. An official review determines whether the temporary overload is acceptable or if corrective action is required.

Ylikuormitukselleformi is available in paper format at local transport offices and as an electronic form through the Transport Administration’s online portal. The use of the form is mandatory for all professionals and commercial freight companies operating heavy goods vehicles, ensuring that overload conditions are monitored and managed to maintain road safety and infrastructure integrity. The form also plays a role in statistical reporting and legal enforcement, serving as evidence in case of traffic violations or accident investigations.
