Confirmation Letter Requirements by August 8, 2025.
The Inspectorate of Economic and Transport Affairs (IETA) strongly urges all passenger
transport (PT) operators who have not yet completed the confirmation letter process or
formally declared the existence of their permit to the department to do so by August 8,
- Failure to comply may result in the permit being classified as dormant. In
accordance with Article 16, para. G of the National Ordinance for Passenger Transport
(Landsverordening Personenvervoer), a permit can be permanently or temporarily
revoked if, in the opinion of the Minister, the permit holder has not used the permit for
more than six months.
The confirmation letter process was reinstated on January 16 th , 2025, as part of IETA’s
broader effort to update and verify PT operations after a suspension in the process in - The relaunch enables the department to:
Accurately assess the number of permits actively in use
Gather demographic data, including country of birth, nationality, and age range of
permit holders
Confirm the types of vehicles in operation and viability for road usage.
Verify active partnerships between permit holders and assistant drivers.
This measure further allows IETA to effectively monitor compliance among industry
operators and improve the department’s ability to impose the appropriate sanctions
ranging from verbal warnings to permit revocations for repeat offenders.
Importantly, operators who have already submitted their documentation to the
department and are currently making amendments to their operations (such as adding a
vehicle to their fleet), will not be adversely affected. Those who may have their vehicle
inoperative must submit a letter to notify us accordingly. For more information, permit
holders or their authorized representatives are encouraged to visit IETA’s Section
Transport Office on Juancho Yrausquin Boulevard (Across Fairway Mark It).
