Vehicle Registration & Certification Assistance
Beyond building the body, USRI handles the certification and registration process end-to-end, preparing documentation, accompanying clients to the Department of Motor Traffic, and managing the full process on the client's behalf.
A new or modified lorry body isn't road-legal until it's properly certified and registered with the Department of Motor Traffic (DMT). Commercial lorries in Sri Lanka are required to hold a current fitness certificate issued by an approved testing centre, and any structural modification typically needs to be reflected in the vehicle's official records. USRI supports clients through this entire process as part of its standard service, so the work doesn't stop the moment the body is built.
Why This Matters
A lorry body that isn't properly certified and registered can create real problems for a business, from compliance issues to insurance and roadworthiness concerns. Since commercial vehicles including lorries must maintain current fitness certificates to remain legally operable, getting this right after a new build or modification isn't optional. USRI's support with this process is designed to remove that burden from the client entirely.
