Licensing a vehicle

Before you choose a vehicle or licence it, you’ll need to:

  • make sure it meets certain standards, including safety, emissions and branding
  • have the vehicle inspected at an approved garage

To apply for your vehicle licence, you’ll need to complete a form, pay a fee and send us certain evidence.
