Motortrans users

Motortrans customers require a Revenue Online Service (ROS) Sub-user certificate to access:

  • the change of vehicle ownership system (motortrans.ie)
  • and
  • the end of life vehicle system (motorelv.ie).

You cannot use these Sub-user certificates to login to ROS. However, you need to load the certificate on the ROS login screen to be able to login to Motortrans.

Any problems encountered with the Motortrans or Motorelv systems should be reported to Motortrans.
