Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 18 January 2023 to Question 122413 on Motor Vehicles: Registration, what the dedicated resource is that his Department has assigned to help Ukrainian refugees who need to register their vehicle; whether the dedicated resource can be used to help obtain certificates of conformity; and how the dedicated resource can be accessed.

Additional dedicated Department for Transport (DfT) personnel have been assigned to support Ukrainians who wish to register their vehicle, and the DfT has recently published detailed guidance to clearly outline the process. The dedicated resource can be accessed by contacting DVLA, DVSA or VCA as appropriate depending on the nature of the enquiry and as outlined in the guidance. As a Certificate of Conformity is issued by the manufacturer, a vehicle owner must make this request direct to the manufacturer. If a Ukrainian has a question regarding certificates they can contact the VCA for assistance.
