question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how motorists in Northern Ireland obtain vehicle registration and licensing; what is their assessment of the success of the new system; and what changes to that system they propose, if any.
tabling member printed	Lord Laird
uin	HL2947
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2014 answer text <p>Vehicles in Northern Ireland can be first registered by motor dealers using the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)’s Automated First Registration and Licensing system. Alternatively, customers can send the relevant application form to the DVLA in Swansea. Any changes to the details of already-registered vehicles must be notified by the registered keeper completing the relevant part of the vehicle registration certificate and sending it to the DVLA.</p><p> </p><p>Vehicles in Northern Ireland can be licensed online or by telephone 24 hours a day, seven days a week or at one of 175 Post Offices that offer the service in Northern Ireland.</p><p> </p><p>The changes to vehicle registration and licensing services for Northern Ireland motorists were implemented on 21 July when more than 1.7 million Northern Ireland vehicle records were automatically transferred to the DVLA. A small number of records required additional processing but these were in line with expectations and the DVLA’s systems have operated very successfully since the migration. While no formal assessment has been made, the Government is confident that Northern Ireland customers are benefiting fully from the enhanced services that are now available to them.</p><p> </p><p>The DVLA is planning a number of future changes to vehicle registration and licensing services. These include providing the facility for motorists to notify vehicle changes and carry out personalised registration transactions online. These services will be available to motorists throughout the UK when they are implemented.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 01/12/2014 12:12:46 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many fixed penalty notices were issued to drivers of vehicles registered in another country that should have been but were not registered in the UK in each of the last five years.
tabling member constituency	Pendle
tabling member printed	Andrew Stephenson
uin	199650
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Failure to register a vehicle following the six-month exemption period is not an offence for which a fixed penalty notice can be issued. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency instead writes to keepers of these vehicles offering them an out of court settlement where it appears that an offence has been committed, so that the matter may be resolved without court proceedings. The table below shows the amount of these out of court settlement letters issued in the last five financial years.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>YEAR</p><p> </p></td><td><p>NUMBER OF OCS ISSUED</p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>09/10</p><p> </p></td><td><p>108</p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>10/11</p><p> </p></td><td><p>83</p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>11/12</p><p> </p></td><td><p>192</p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>12/13</p><p> </p></td><td><p>59</p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>13/14</p><p> </p></td><td><p>84</p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><p /> <p /> <p> </p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p /><p /> <p>Since April 2014, 237 out of court settlement letters have been issued.</p><p /> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 16/06/2014 15:38:12 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
