Importing A Vehicle
1. How do I import my vehicle into Great Britain. The vehicle is to
remain in GB?
A vehicle which is permanently imported in to GB must be registered
and licensed as soon as possible after it arrives in this country.
The application for registration should be made using a V55/4 form
for new vehicles, or a V55/5 form for used vehicles, which are
available at your nearest DVLA Local Office.
You will need to take along the following, the foreign registration
document and any other papers you have for the vehicle, customs
clearance form if required, a valid certificate of insurance issued
by a member of the UK Motor Insurance Bureau, a valid British MOT
certificate if needed, and the payment for the vehicle excise
licence. To speed up the registration process of personally
imported vehicles less than 6 months old or having travelled less
than 6000 kilometres you may submit your customs notification
direct to the DVLA Local Office at the time of registration rather
than at a Customs Office.
The vehicle must also comply with the National Type Approval
requirements, there are some exemptions and these are explained in
PI5 Booklet, also available at the DVLA Local Office. If you
require further clarification on type approval please contact the
Vehicle Certification Agency on 0117 9515151. On receipt of a
completed application the DVLA Local Office will allocate a
registration mark appropriate to the vehicle's date of first use
abroad and issue a vehicle excise licence. The papers will be
forwarded to DVLC and you will receive a registration document for
the vehicle within 4 weeks.
IMPORTANCE NOTICE: From 17 June 2003 Type Approval or SVA will be
required for motorcycles, tricycles & quadricycles
