PHILIPSBURG:--- The Ministry of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Transport and Telecommunication (TEATT) has published the names of touring-car and unregulated transport permit holders that successfully completed the 2026 Confirmation Letter Process.
The list was published on September 14, 2026, under publication number IETA-PT-CR-002. It includes operators verified by the Inspectorate of Economic and Transport Affairs (IETA) as of September 11, 2026.
Permit holders whose names do not appear on the list must contact IETA within two weeks of the publication date to confirm their operating status or complete any outstanding requirements.
The deadline is Monday, September 28, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.
Operators who have ceased operations or have not used their permits for more than six months must notify IETA in writing and provide a copy of their permit before the deadline.
