Using your car in Finland
You must submit a declaration of use on your car before you start using it in Finland. You can start using your car in Finland when it is under valid registration in an EU or EEA member state or when you have a transfer permit issued by a vehicle inspection office, and a traffic insurance policy effective in Finland.
If the vehicle does not have a valid registration or a transfer permit, the only legal way to transfer the vehicle is by trailer. You are not allowed to even tow the vehicle.
If you need a transfer permit, get it in advance from the vehicle inspection station. To acquire the permit, you need to know the specifications of the vehicle (serial number).
Transfer permits can also be bought from certain customs offices, for example from offices on the Finnish-Russian border. Please observe that transfer permits cannot be bought from all customs offices, for example Turku Customs does not carry them.
