How to get a successful self-employed certificate
Register with SRS
Before starting economic activity, register with the State Revenue Service. Indicate the correct main activity type (NACE2) when registering.
Use EDS — “Dokumenti”
EDS: Dokumenti → List of Documents → No veidlapas → Nodokļu maksātāju reģistrācijas un datu izmaiņu veidlapas → Nodokļu maksātāja (fiziskas personas) reģistrācija. Complete and submit.
Choose the right questionnaire
Select “Saimnieciskās darbības veicējs”. Other economic activity types are not valid within the Wolt self-employed service agreement.
Confirm registration
After approval you’ll receive a letter from SRS. Verify your entry in the public database: www6.vid.gov.lv/SDV
