On behalf of the Department of Transport, the Imprimerie Nationale, via its subsidiary « ChronoServices », manufactures, issues and manages the four smartcards associated with the electronic tachograph. Working in collaboration with social partners and ministries, ChronoServices oversees the technical, legal and organisational aspects of the system.

ChronoServices supports drivers, transport companies, workshops and inspection authorities from day one (the initial card request) and throughout the card’s life:

• Request conformity and recording: ChronoServices manages paper and electronic requests and completes, validates, digitizes and stocks the files.
• Life cycle management: ChronoServices deals with rescissions, replacements and renewals. Via ChronoServices, inspection authorities have remote access to the database.
• User services: Chronoservices manages card stocks and offers an internet and telephone hotline.

With over 700 000 active cards and a yearly production of 150 000 cards, ChronoServices is Governments’ trusted partner (France, Albania, Monaco and Malta amongst others).
