Country guides
Verify a carrier by country
Each country uses different registers for company status, transport licence, VAT, and insurance. Pick your lane country and run the same checks on booking day.
Each EU member state publishes company, licence, VAT, and insurance data in different registers. These guides map the production source set Certica uses per country and the checks you should run before assigning a load.
Pick the country that matches the carrier VAT ID, not your office location. The same forwarder may need Poland one week and Romania the next.
