Exporting a Vehicle

[Viney]

Anyone done it? Is it just a matter of filling in the bit on the V5C, returning your tax disc and cancelling the insurance?

[LH-SV650]

Nicked from the DVLA website:

If you are taking your vehicle out of Great Britain permanently you must notify DVLA. If you have a Registration Document (V5) you can do this by completing section C to show the intended date of export. The V5 should then be returned to DVLA or to a DVLA Local Office. In its place you will receive a Certificate of Permanent Export (V561) as confirmation of your vehicle's registration.

If you have a Registration Certificate (V5C) then you must notify export on the purple section (V5C/4). You must take your Registration Certificate with you as you may have to hand it over to the relevant authority when the vehicle is registered abroad.

Further information on this subject, including advice on taking a vehicle to Northern Ireland, can be found in leaflet V526 'Taking your vehicle out of the country'.

Viney,

sorry leaving do Friday, travel to Edinburgh yesterday for the Pan Clan do meant Ive not seen this til now.

Where are you exporting it to? EC or outside? There will be intra-EC Customs forms if its to another EC country - you need a VAT 411 form to bring a vehicle in. Each country has its own forms. On top of the DVLA ones.

If its outside EC, there are export forms to complete and the country of destination will require completed forms. If exporting it, you should find a good shipper who will deal with the paperwork.
