Car registrations for new imported vehicles can be applied for at your local area DVLA office.  It takes two to three working days for this as no “over-the-counter” service is offered.  When registering your new imported vehicle, you will need to present the following original (not photocopied) documents to your DVLA office:

- A completed V55/4 application for new vehicles (V55/5 if it is used)
- If applicable, you will need to pay the £55 registration fee and all applicable tax fees
- A current British insurance certificate
- All foreign registration documents as well as other documents that relate to the vehicle
- Collection date evidence such as the supplier’s invoice
- Type approval evidence
- If applicable, you will need to provide a British MOT test certificate
- All appropriate HM Customs and Revenue forms
- If applicable, you will need to provide a Form V267 or a “Declaration that a vehicle is new.”  This can be downloaded online or you can acquire one at your local DVLA office.
- Documents which prove your name and address to be correct

Unless you have all the necessary and proper documentation, you will not be able to register the vehicle, nor can it be taxed.  There is the possibility that the DVLA will want to physically see the vehicle in order to confirm its identity.  If you have any further questions or need more information regarding registering and taxing an imported vehicle you can speak with your local area DVLA office or visit their website.
