NOTES
The Motor Vehicles (Approval) Regulations 2001 and The Motor Cycles Etc. (Single
Vehicle Approval) Regulations 2003 and the Road Vehicle (Approval) Regulations
2020 provide for the issue of a replacement or duplicate Approval Certificate in
certain circumstances and provided the appropriate fee is received.
Please be aware that you may be required to present the vehicle for inspection in
order for DVSA to verify the details. If the original certificate is subsequently found,
it must be returned to any DVSA location.
Please Note: The replacement document may be issued from the location that
completed the original test.
An Approval certificate is required to enable a vehicle to be registered. If the vehicle
is registered in the UK, DVSA may refuse to issue a replacement/duplicate
certificate.
If a certificate is required for a vehicle registered in the UK that is to be exported to
another country, the export of the vehicle must first be notified to the DVLA (Driver
and Vehicle Licensing Agency) and recorded on the DVLA system as an exported
vehicle.
