Car registration in the UK involves visiting your local area DVLA and the first requirement in the process is that you are required to provide legal documentation that confirms your identity. This ensures that your name and address are accurate at the time you are registering your vehicle and that your registration is not fraudulent. There are certain forms required in the car registration process as well as those that confirm your name and address. Before going to your local office check their opening times and whether you need an appointment, you usually don’t but check anyway.
You can tax your vehicle at the same time as registering it. Something most new car owners want to do.
The V55/4 form is the one you need if you are registering a new vehicle. It is also the form you need to fill out if you are registering a brand new imported vehicle. Kit cars also need to be registered using the V55/4 form.
V55/5 – first licence application for motor vehicles and a declaration for registration for to registering used vehicles or those that have been rebuilt.
In order to register your vehicle using either of these forms, there are other documents that will need to be provided such as your photo card licence to drive, or another original document which confirms your identity and where you are currently living.
To prove your ID you can use a marriage certificate, a degree NISI or absolute, a birth certificate, a passport (any nationality) or a current DVLA issued driving licence. The best ones to use are a passport or photo ID driver’s licence they are far easier for the person processing your application to verify your ID with.
The car you are registering must be registered at the address you are currently resident off. To prove where you live you need a current council tax bill, bank statement or utility bill, which must be no more than 3 months old. If you have a current NHS medical card you can use that instead.
