Howdy all!
Not sure how many people this affects or if this has already been covered but an article I read suggests that:
[color=#0000cd;]The DVLA[/color] have recently changed their recommendations for vehicles that have been wrapped, which now have to be registered if the colour has been changed. Previously because the wrap was not considered a permanent change, it did not need to be registered. However, the following statement has been issued by the DVLA;-
[color=#0000cd;]The register maintained by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA[/color]) essentially exists to assist in revenue collection, road safety and law enforcement. The Police and other enforcement agencies rely on the DVLA record for all vehicles-related investigations. It is therefore paramount that the information stored on the vehicle register is accurate and up to date.
[color=#0000cd;]DVLA[/color] records details given by vehicle manufacturers at first registration. Any changes to the vehicles details must be notified to DVLA by law.
[color=#0000cd;]By covering the entire vehicle in a coloured adhesive/vinyl wrap, it is DVLA’s view that the colour change should be recorded. To notify a change of colour you should complete section 7 of the registration certificate V5C and return it to DVLA[/color] Swansea SA99 1BA. You should receive a replacement certificate within two to four weeks.
Time to register mine to black!
About time DVLA got their finger out. 1st tax disc now this, maybe they might change reg plate regs to be less stringent but sensible?
