answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2015 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) requires specific information or documentation before it will process a notification that a vehicle has been exported or taken off the road.</p><br /><p>In order to be able to make such notifications electronically (where such a service is available) a unique reference number from the vehicle registration certificate and/or vehicle excise duty renewal letter must be used. This helps to ensure that it is the registered keeper of the vehicle making the notification.</p><br /><p>If the notification cannot be made electronically, the registered keeper must use the appropriate section of the vehicle registration certificate or write to the DVLA.</p><br /><p>When the off road or export notification has updated the DVLA’s records, a refund of any remaining vehicle excise duty will be issued to the registered keeper. Unexpectedly receiving this payment should prompt the keeper to contact the DVLA if they did not make the notification themselves.</p><br /> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 10/11/2015 17:23:04 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
