You must register any vehicle you bring into the UK permanently. You cannot register before you do all of the following:

• tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) you imported the vehicle and get confirmation that your NOVA application is processed
• pay VAT and duty if HMRC tells you to
• get proof of vehicle approval

You also tax the vehicle when you register it with DVLA - there’s a £55 fee.

DVLA might ask to inspect the vehicle.

You must also send extra supporting documents for an imported vehicle.

Extra supporting documents for imported vehicles

You must send the following original documents:

• proof of vehicle approval
• form V267 (sometimes called the ‘declaration of newness’) if you’re registering a new vehicle
• evidence showing the date the vehicle was collected, for example, the invoice from the supplier
• the original foreign registration certificate to show when the vehicle was manufactured (you will not get this back)
• 
  

If you do not have the original foreign registration certificate, DVLA might accept other proof of the manufacture date, for example, a letter from the manufacturer or a vehicle enthusiast club.

Do not send photocopies or faxed copies.
