You
can tax your vehicle online or by phone if
you:
• are the registered keeper of the vehicle
and your name, address and any vehicle changes
are updated at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing
Agency
• have a ‘Vehicle Licence Application/Statutory
Off Road Notification’ (V11 reminder) or Registration
Certificate (V5C)
• have valid insurance covering the use
of the vehicle on the day the tax disc comes
into force
• have a valid MOT, Goods Vehicle or
Passenger Service Vehicle (PSV) test (if needed)
which is valid when the tax disc comes into
force
• have a debit or credit card - a £2.50
service charge applies when using a credit
card, there’s no charge for using a debit
card
• have a valid DLA404 if you’re entitled
to disability exemption
You can renew your tax any day from the fifth
day of the month.
If you prefer to tax in the last few days
of the month, there is now an exemption from
the offence of not displaying a tax disc.
This exemption covers the first five working
days of the month and allows time for the
new disc to arrive in the post.
The exemption only applies if applications
are made before the current tax disc or SORN
expires.

What you need to
know
Insurance, MOT and entitlement to disability exemption are checked electronically
during the application. A tax disc and receipt for payment is posted to
you within five working days.
Valid insurance on the date you want the tax disc to come into force (or
the date you apply, if this is later) is checked on the Motor Insurance
Database (MID) run by the Motor Insurers Bureau. If your vehicle tax and
insurance are due at the same time or if you’ve recently changed your
insurance company, there may be problems checking insurance while waiting
for the MID to update.
When you’re ready
Be sure to have the following to hand:
• the 16 digit reference number printed in the yellow box on the
front of your V11 reminder or
• the 11 digit reference number shown on the front of your Registration
Certificate and your vehicle registration number
• your DLA404 if you claim disability exemption
• your debit or credit card
