Motor Vehicles: Registration (23 January 2023)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing ownership records, alongside registered keeper details on V5C documents in the context of present lack of ownership documentation allowing people to change ownership or keepership of a vehicle without requesting checks.

Asked by:
Mohammad Yasin (Labour)

The vehicle register held by the DVLA, is not a register of legal title or ownership of vehicles.

Based on the latest available data, the DVLA is confident that just over 92% of the keepers on record are contactable and traceable based on the information held.
