An interesting proposition for entrepreneurs is the possibility of electronically performing many procedures carried out by the Chief Inspectorate of Road Transport (in particular by the International Transport Bureau). This is facilitated by the electronic Contact Point portal managed by the Ministry of Economy. For the electronic execution of procedures, it is required to have a trusted profile (ePUAP) or a qualified signature (how to obtain a trusted profile or a qualified signature?).
It is worth emphasizing that even if an entrepreneur does not have them, they can fill out an electronic form and print the application, which can then be submitted to the office.
Below we present the GITD procedures that can be carried out electronically:
Community licenses for the carriage of passengers and goods.
Using the Contact Point, an entrepreneur can submit applications for community licenses authorizing the performance of international road transport of goods (cargo) and international bus and coach transport of passengers:
- Community license for international commercial road transport of goods,
- Community license for international commercial bus and coach transport of passengers.
Changes to existing permits, licenses, and issuing duplicates.
The entrepreneur is obliged to inform the Chief Inspector of Road Transport about a change in the name, address of the company, the person managing transport, as well as a new location of the transport base. Therefore, the ability to inform the GITD electronically about the change of these data can be helpful.
It is also possible to obtain duplicates of relevant permits and licenses in this way. Using the Contact Point, the following procedures can be carried out (divided according to their scope into passenger transport and goods transport):
Passenger transport:
- Change of data (change of name or address) on the road carrier authorization/community license for international commercial bus and coach transport of passengers,
- Change of the person managing transport in the road carrier authorization and community license for international commercial bus and coach transport of passengers,
- Issuance of a duplicate of the road carrier authorization/community license/extracts from the community license (passenger transport),
- Information on fleet replacement/change of registration number/change of the right to use the vehicle – passenger transport.
Goods transport:

Driver attestations in road transport of goods.

- Continuation of a driver attestation,

Other electronic GITD procedures.
The Chief Inspectorate of Road Transport also enables the electronic execution of other procedures. In this way, an entrepreneur can apply for permits for the carriage of passengers or goods, as well as consent to the delivery by courier of documentation authorizing the performance of international road transport (courier shipments are the form of document delivery preferred by the GITD). Using the Contact Point, one can also apply for the renewal of certificates confirming that a vehicle meets the appropriate safety requirements or conditions for admission to traffic:
- Ordering permits for passenger transport,
