The Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) is the legislative authority at the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Latvia, dealing with general administering of road traffic, registering of vehicles, administering of qualification examinations for drivers and issuing of driving licences, drafting of road traffic regulations, securing technical inspection of vehicles and surveillance of roads for safe traffic.
One of the CSDD objectives is development and maintainance of national vehicle and driving license registrations.
The vehicle and driving licence register developed by CSDD was the first in Latvia to be granted the status of National Computerised Information System by the decree of Cabinet of Ministers in 1997. CSDD was among the first to start using the National Data Net thus securing state administration and legal institutions with on-line information on vehicles and drivers.
In October of 1996 the Republic of Latvia signed the Memorandum of Cooperation with The Netherlands about information exchange on vehicles, enabling CSDD to join the international information exchange system Eucaris.
