ECMT (European Conference of Ministers of Transport ) permits allow you to transport most types of goods (or drive an empty vehicle) through ECMT member countries.

You might need ECMT permits for journeys to or through the EU from 1 January, 2021.

• Check if you need ECMT permits.
• Check if you’re eligible to apply.
• Apply for ECMT permits.
• If you get permits, get an ECMT ‘certificate of compliance’ for your vehicle or trailer from its manufacturer.
• Apply for an ECMT ‘certificate of roadworthiness’ for your vehicle or trailer.

You will need to follow rules about using your ECMT permits, including your drivers carrying the right documents.
