Service Description

If you have bought a vehicle and it is still deregistered, you must re-register it if you want to use it on the road.

This is a re-registration to another owner if there has been a change of owner. You can apply for this in person at the registration authority responsible for you or have a representative do it for you.

Who should I contact?

Please contact your local vehicle registration authority.

Requirements

  • The vehicle is currently out of service.
  • There has been a change of keeper.
