General information
The owner of the vehicle has the opportunity to register the actual user of the vehicle by indicating him as the holder in the registration certificate, as well as to change the registered holder to another. If no other person is indicated as the holder of the vehicle, the owner of the vehicle shall be indicated as the holder in the vehicle registration certificate.
If the holder indicated in the registration certificate has changed for the vehicle, and it is intended to participate in traffic with the vehicle, registration of the change of the holder shall be performed within 5 days.
The registration and deletion of the holder can be done in the e-CSDD system (for more details, see: Holder registration in e-CSDD) or in any CSDD customer service centre (see: Holder registration in a CSDD customer service centre).
A holder may be registered if this is accepted by both the owner and the holder of the vehicle.
When registering the holder, the declared place of residence (location) of the holder shall be indicated in the vehicle registration certificate, but in case the owner of the vehicle is also its holder - the declared place of residence (location) of the owner of the vehicle.
If the vehicle has a registered holder and it is deleted without specifying another person as the holder, the presence of the registered holder is not required.
When the vehicle is removed from the register for disposal in Latvia or export from Latvia, the liability of the registered holder for violations committed with the vehicle in road traffic is terminated.
