If you are exporting an ordinary vehicle that is less than 50 years old, you do not generally need an export licence. However, you must notify the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). Normally you use your Registration Document (V5) or Registration Certificate (V5C) to let DVLA know when you intend to export the vehicle.

Special rules do apply for some vehicles:

Military vehicles and vehicles with a potential military use may need an export licence.

An antique vehicle over 75 years old and worth more than ￡34,300 may need an export licence.

You do not need to notify the DVLA if you are taking your vehicle out of the country for less than a year, but must take your registration document or certificate with you.

Imports

You do not generally need a licence to import an ordinary vehicle. However, the vehicle must be registered and have a valid vehicle licence (tax disc) before being used or kept on public roads. Read about importing a vehicle on the Directgov website - Opens in a new window.
