Data extraction from the Transport Register

Traficom discloses information from the Transport Register to organisations by means of data extraction for the purpose of, for example, the production of statistical and market information services and spare part sales services. The information is disclosed on the basis of an agreement or a data permit in accordance with the Act on Transport Services. This page provides information on how organisations can utilise data extraction in the services they produce.

Data extraction

Extracted data is delivered to the brokering service in a certain cycle, depending on the data. The service provider retrieves the data from the brokering service. The more detailed purposes of use and delivery cycles of the data are described on dataset-specific product cards.

If the service can be implemented through queries made via the application-to-application interface, it is the preferred option. Disclosure of data based on data extraction is only intended for cases where the provision of the service requires data-based disclosure of information, and it would not be technically possible to implement it via the application-to-application interface. The number of queries, the pricing or the costs of the queries are not grounds for the disclosure of data.

If your company needs data from the Transport register to produce the service, fill in the application electronically in Traficom's My e-Services. 

  • Before completing the application, familiarise yourself with the instructions and requirements, as well as the data controller’s responsibilities.
  • Plan the technical implementation of the service. 
  • Make sure the organization has given you the necessary Suomi.fi authorization to "Ordering transportation means information".

Statistical and market information services

A market information product refers to data based on information from the Transport Register that does not contain personal information related to vehicles or information that identifies vehicles. A market information product can be formed via a user interface (market information service) or it can be handed over to the customer as a finished product. The market information service produces transport-related information on the market for different business needs.

Statistics are processed numerical data that can be presented either graphically or in tables. In principle, statistical data is public data, and it can never contain data that identifies individual statistical units (e.g., means of transport or owner/holder). Statistics may only contain result sets which contain at least five observations, and it must never be possible to identify the owners or holders of vehicles based on the statistics.

On the basis of an agreement or a data permit, the following data can be extracted from the Transport Register for the purpose of producing market information products and statistics: first registration extracts, vehicle and corporate customer extracts, technical vehicle data extracts and/or statistical stock extracts.

The production of market information products and individual statistics is based on an agreement or data permit between the service provider and the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom on statistical and market information services.

The stock data with limited information (TPERAP002c, TPERAP010c) contains technical vehicle data and vehicle owner and holder data included in the Transport Register.

  • The brief description of first registration data (TPERAT012) contains the first registration transactions of vehicles during the preceding full month.
  • The first registration statistical data (TPERAT010, TPERAT010c with limited data) contains the first registration transactions of vehicles during the preceding full month.

The vehicle and corporate customer information (TPERAP001b and TPERAP008b) datasets are used in the provision of statistical and market information services. The datasets contain information on vehicles in the Transport Register and information on corporate customers. In addition to vehicle identification data, the data does not contain any other personal data.

Technical vehicle data for producers of statistical and market information products (TPERAP025) contain vehicle identification and technical data. In addition to vehicle identification data, the data does not contain personal data.

Previously submitted datasets must always be replaced with the latest dataset. As a rule, old datasets must not be stored. As an exception to this, storing the TPERAT010 first registration statistics data is permitted cumulatively, as long as it is clearly described in the service description. Change events are the only events that are disclosed daily in the dataset concerned, which makes it impossible to return to the data of preceding days without storing them cumulatively.

In extraction-based services, a previously submitted dataset must always be replaced with the latest dataset. As a rule, old datasets must not be stored. 

Service based on data extraction (spare part sales service)

If it is not possible to implement the service via queries to the application-to-application interface, query services for consumers or companies may be provided based on the technical vehicle data material. The data can, for example, be used to create services for spare parts sales. The Act on Transport Services limits the disclosure of information for only specific purposes. 

The technical vehicle data material is updated four times a year and includes all cars registered in Finland. Due to the update cycle, the material does not contain real-time information on vehicles. Traficom charges a start-up fee of EUR 6,875 for the use of batch data + EUR 330/data update (4 times/year). 

Price list – Transport

The data retrieved from the information service in technical data extraction contains vehicle identification and technical data. The data does not contain other personal data.
The data can be used as such or it can be used as a basis for an enquiry service for consumers or companies. The data can, for example, be used in information services for spare parts sales.

Debt collection companies

In accordance with section 228 of the Act on Transport Services (320/2017), the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency discloses information from the Transport Register to companies engaged in licensed debt collection activities.
