Driver Vehicle Standards Agency
Details
After you or the dealer register your heavy goods vehicle (HGV) with DVLA, you must record the HGVs details with DVSA. This is so you:
- get a ministry plate and plating certificate (if the vehicle needs them)
- can book an MOT for the vehicle
The form you need to fill in depends on whether the vehicle was approved under the:
- European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval or National Small Series Type Approval schemes
- Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) scheme
Theres no fee to record the vehicle details with DVSA and get the first ministry plate and plating certificate.
Theres a different form to use for an HGV to have its first MOT if its registered with DVLA and has stopped being exempt from being tested, or if its not registered with DVLA and was made more than 25 years ago.
