A digital certificate is a 6-digit code which gives the right to make changes to the data on a watercraft's owners or holder. A digital certificate will be valid for 30 days after it has been created. A register notification of change of ownership should be completed within this period, but we recommend that you complete it without delay.
A e-certificate can only be used in Traficom’s e-services. When you visit the office of service provider, you must bring a deed of transfer issued by the owner entered in the register.
