The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has announced a consultation aimed at simplifying how historic vehicles are registered in the UK.
The ‘call for evidence’ follows a lengthy review into the DVLA’s policies.
Since 2021, the Historic Vehicle User Group (made up of representatives from the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs, the Historic & Classic Vehicles Alliance and the Royal Automobile Club) has held periodic meetings with the DVLA.
Now it’s time to have your say.

The 50-question survey is split into 12 parts.
Helpfully, the FBHVC has released a guide to help classic car enthusiasts through the 29-page document.
You can use the FBHVC’s answers to advise your responses, if you wish, plus it should help you understand any jargon or specialist terms.
Under each section, you also have the opportunity to agree or disagree with the FBHVC’s position and provide your own feedback.
