Change of owner

Redemption from leasing

If the vessel is registered with one of the following companies (leasing companies) and redeemed, the leasing company makes an appropriate entry in the State Register of Vehicles and their Drivers regarding this fact.

The registration of the change of owner is performed on the basis of the note made in the register and the document certifying the change of ownership does not have to be submitted to the CSDD.

If it is planned to participate in traffic, within 5 days after making the leasing note, the change of owner must be registered in the e-CSDD or CSDD customer service centre.

Registration in e-CSDD

When drawing up the application, you must indicate the desired way of receiving the registration certificate. The document can be received:

• at any CSDD customer service centre. The document can be received by any adult person by presenting the QR code sent to the buyer by e-mail and his / her identity document;
• by post to the specified address in Latvia. The registration document will be sent by post to the specified address in Latvia by ordinary mail without insurance.

This activity can be performed by the acquirer of the vessel (both adult natural persons and legal entities).

The e-CSDD service is available using the “Single Login” link and choosing the most appropriate type of authentication - using your credit institution, E-signature smart card or electronic signature

After authorization, in the section "Operations with vehicles", select "Receipt of the Registration Certificate", where the necessary actions are performed.

If the registration is completed by e-CSDD, the purchaser may destroy the previously issued vessel registration certificate himself or transfer it to CSDD.

Registration in e-CSDD can be completed if the following conditions are met:

• the acquirer is one of the following persons:
  • an adult natural person, if the CSDD register contains information regarding a valid identity document issued to the person in Latvia and the person has been declared to reside in Latvia;

• the vessel has been presented for the unit number verification if the craft does not have an identification number, as well as all jet-skis, cutters and motor boats last registered in Latvia till February 1st 2004. (for details see "Unit number verification");
