Car Tax and Registration

Vehicles that are used or kept on a public road in the United Kingdom are required, by law, to display a valid vehicle licence (tax disc).

A Registration Document/Certificate shows the registered keeper of a vehicle. The registered keeper is the person who keeps the vehicle on a public road and is not necessarily the legal owner. It gives the keeper's name and address, the registration mark and other information about the vehicle.

The DVLA provides information on how to tax and register a vehicle , as well as providing information on other aspects of keeping and selling a vehicle.

Driving Licences

The DVLA provides information on driving licences , and other associated advice on driving in general.

Abandoned Vehicles and Untaxed Vehicles
