General information

If the vessel's registration certificate is lost, stolen, damaged or has expired, a new document must be obtained in its place.

If the document is lost and another type of registration action is required (e.g. change of ownership registration or change of number plates), the registration certificate shall be renewed at the same time as this registration action.

Registration in e-CSDD

If the registration certificate is lost, the application for a new registration certificate can be made 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 registered owner or registered holder 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.

For a description of the activities to be performed in the e-CSDD environment, see the attached file below.

  • if the holder of the vessel is a natural person, 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;
