Changes Guidance Notes

Please read these guidance notes carefully before you complete the application form.

 

Completing the form

Please remember to tick all relevant boxes and upload all the documentation required.

Please be advised that if your application form is incorrectly or partially completed or if incorrect documentation is provided, your application will be rejected and the issue of your permit(s) may be delayed.

 

Change of vehicle

If you have changed your vehicle you must not alter your existing permit. Any alterations made to a permit will make it invalid. Instead you must provide proof that the permit has been destroyed together with proof of vehicle ownership. A replacement permit will be issued which will show the same expiry date as your previous permit.  You are required to pay an administration charge of £25.00 for this service. Once you have received your paper permit, this must be displayed within your vehicle.
