This is a reminder that all vehicles which are being used on a public highway commercially for the carriage of goods (“a Goods Vehicle”) with a maximum laden weight of over 3,500kg will need to be registered or licensed with the RTLC.
Manx operators who operate in the Isle of Man only will be required to obtain an Operator Registration.
Manx operators who operate in the Isle of Man and overseas will be required to obtain an Operator Licence.
Operating without an Operator Licence or Operator Registration is an offence after 1st February 2020.
