Know the Rules for Your Move in Malta

The standard EU licensing framework from Transport Malta, with a practical nuance given Malta’s island geography.

Before you rely on this

Malta licenses road haulage under the same EU Regulation 1071/2009 framework used across the EU. The Road Haulage Operator Licence is issued by Transport Malta to the company operating the vehicles, in two categories: National Operations (Malta only) and European Authorisations/Community Licence (EU-wide). Always confirm current requirements directly before hiring a mover.
