DVLA
Liaison: The
Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is the body responsible for managing Vehicle
Registration matters in the UK. Their records have been computerised
since 1983, and this can cause issues
if the vehicle that you have purchased as a "barn find" has not been
on the road recently. If it is not in their database, it doesn't formally exist!
The Club's representative works with
the DVLA in these instances. You should contact him to obtain the
forms required by the DVLA to register your car, he will guide you
to filling them in and they should be returned via the club for
endorsement. The DVLA will then usually take the car onto their
computer, approve the registration and allow the car to be taxed.
This description is the simplest manner in which the process can be
achieved, but the club will help if there are any
complications. The rep has access to the Club's records and can usually
help find
documentary evidence to support the existence of your car and its registration number.
He can also help with other registration difficulties.
There is a small charge for the
basic service but the representative will also need to charge expenses, if, for example,
travelling is required to inspect a vehicle or other expenses are incurred.
Dennis Brown is our DVLA
Rep. You can email him on dvla-rep@standardmotorclub.org.uk
