EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/2742) ("the 2002 Regulations"). They introduce a fee of £19 in certain circumstances for persons who require a new vehicle registration document to be issued.

Regulation 3 amends regulation 13 of the 2002 Regulations to introduce the fee where an application is made for a replacement registration document because the previous registration document has been, or may have been, lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged, or its particulars have become illegible.

Regulations 4 and 5 amend respectively regulations 14 and 16 of the 2002 Regulations to introduce the fee where an application is made for a new registration document, because the previous document is inaccurate or incorrect, but the previous document cannot be produced.

Regulation 6 amends regulation 18 of the 2002 Regulations to introduce the fee where an application is made for a new registration document, because there has been a change in the keeper's name or address, but the previous document cannot be produced.

Regulations 7 to 10 amend regulations 21, 22, 24 and 25 of the 2002 Regulations, which operate where there is a change in the keeper of a vehicle. The amendments place an obligation on a new keeper to apply, with a £19 fee, for a new registration document where all or the relevant part of the previous document has been, or may have been, lost, stolen or destroyed. Under regulations 8 and 9, amending respectively regulations 22 and 24 of the 2002 Regulations, where the new keeper can produce the part of the document which has to be given to a new keeper, a fee is not payable.

Regulation 11 amends regulation 30 of the 2002 Regulations, to provide for the application to Government departments of regulations 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18 of the 2002 Regulations, concerning replacement documents.

A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business is available from the Vehicle Policy Group, DVLA, Longview Road, Morriston, Swansea SA6 7JL.
