In the UK, you must renew your car registration every 12 months. This process is also known as “vehicle tax” or “vehicle excise duty” (VED). Your car registration is valid until the end of the month and year shown on your tax disc or V5C registration certificate.
You can renew your car registration online or by phone, or by visiting a post office dealing with vehicle tax. You will need your V11 reminder letter, which should arrive in the post a few weeks before your current registration expires. If you don’t receive a reminder letter, you can renew your registration by providing your V5C registration certificate or a new keeper supplement.
The cost of renewing your car registration depends on your vehicle type and its CO2 emissions. You can check your vehicle’s tax rate and renew your registration online through the government’s website or by phone. Payment can be made by debit, credit card, or direct debit if you prefer to pay monthly.
It’s important to remember that driving a car without a valid registration is illegal in the UK and can result in fines or even prosecution. Make sure to renew your car registration on time to avoid legal trouble.
