Letter of Attestation

A Letter of Attestation is required by a number of EU Member States. The following is taken from ec.europa.eu:

A form attesting activities of a driver with a view to ensure compliance with drivers' hours rules was established by Decision 2009/959/EU amending Decision 2007/230/EC. This form comes only in addition to the tachograph records and should reflect activities which could not be recorded via tachograph due to technical reasons.

Member States are not obliged to require the use of this form, but if a form is required, this form will be recognised valid for such purposes.

Using the data you already enter in to Tachomaster it is able to generate attestation letters that cover days not recorded on to the tachograph, such as: Annual Leave, Sick days, days worked without driving. It is also possible to print a Letter of Attestation and fill in the activity yourself.
