More than 6,300 Requests for Loading Special Permission Received by MTOP Every Year
SUMMARY:
The Ministry of Transport and Public Works (MTOP as for its acronym in Spanish) processes more than 6,300 requests for Loading Special Permission every year.
INFORMATION:
This procedure, which is performed through STATUM's technology, allows requesting a special travel authorization for vehicles that may affect the traffic or security due to their size, weight or load.
The requirements are as follows: the interested party must have the national travel permission, a technical inspection must have been conducted on the vehicle, and the company must be up to date with their tax obligations and fine payments if any.
According to the National Directorate of Transport, the procedure is very easy to perform. The requester must have a gub.uy user. According to the Ministry, 6,307 requests were performed in 2021 and, up to June 2022, 2,700 have been processed.
Gerardo Ciganda, manager of e-Government at the Ministry, commented that this online procedure, which is fully performed online, "allows digitally requesting permissions for vehicles that transport containers, cars or machinery. The procedure is free of cost and the authorization is sent via e-mail."
He also highlighted that online procedures "bring the State closer to citizens." They also extend the options to perform procedures and reduce "the gaps of territory distribution and concentration of resources and services."
Online procedures are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
