Entity's DVLA Vehicle Enquiry

Currently it takes approximately 14 days to request, administer and receive back vehicle enquiries from the DVLA using the manual submission process.

Equally, the payment cycle requires cheques to be raised, and then banked, for every batch of enquiries.

The DVLA has recognised the need to improve the speed of Vehicle Enquiry processing and have initiated a programme to exploit the benefits of electronic data communications. In addition the payment process has been extended to enable payment via variable direct debit.

The electronic service allows authorised users to achieve an overnight turnaround on their enquiries. By submitting them electronically before 5pm, they will be processed overnight, and a response will be available by 7am the following morning.
