The Land Transport Agency has launched a digital permit system for road freight transportation between Georgia and Türkiye.
The agency says the new mechanism allows international freight carriers operating between the two countries to obtain and use transport permits entirely in digital format.
Officials note that the system will simplify administrative procedures, reduce the use of paper documents, speed up the issuance and verification of permits, and improve the efficiency of international cargo transportation.
“The digital permit system is based on a bilateral principle, which means that both countries use a single electronic platform for the exchange and registration of permit documents,” said Bakur Mikadze, Director of the Land Transport Agency. “This ensures fast and secure data exchange, reduces technical and administrative delays, and creates a more transparent and modern mechanism for administering international road freight transportation.”
The agency says the introduction of the digital permit mechanism with Turkey, together with the successful implementation of the electronic ECMT (European Conference of Ministers of Transport) multilateral permit system, marks an important step in the development of international road freight transportation.
The agency believes the changes will support the transport and logistics sector, simplify international trade, and further strengthen Georgia’s role as a regional transit hub.
