ajoneuvorekisteriä

Ajoneuvorekisteri is the Finnish vehicle registration system. It is a comprehensive database maintained by Traficom, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency. The registry contains information about all motor vehicles and trailers registered in Finland.

The primary purpose of the ajoneuvorekisteri is to identify and track vehicles, ensuring road safety and facilitating administrative processes. It holds essential data such as vehicle identification numbers (VIN), registration numbers, make and model, year of manufacture, technical specifications, and ownership details. This information is crucial for various purposes, including vehicle inspections, taxation, insurance, and law enforcement.

When a vehicle is first registered in Finland, it is assigned a unique registration number and its details are entered into the ajoneuvorekisteri. Changes in ownership, technical modifications, or deregistration are also recorded in the system. The data in the registry is used by authorities for traffic management, environmental monitoring, and combating vehicle-related crime.

Access to the ajoneuvorekisteri is regulated. While certain information is publicly accessible, such as the existence of a vehicle and its registration number, detailed ownership or personal data is protected and only available to authorized entities for specific legal reasons. This balance ensures transparency while safeguarding individual privacy. The ajoneuvorekisteri plays a vital role in the functioning of the Finnish transportation system.
